The problem
Honda is recalling certain model year 2006 cr-v passenger cars manufactured from October 3, 2005, through July 21, 2006. The driver-side power window switch May fail or melt.
The risk
If the switch fails, the power windows May become inoperative preventing them from being rolled up or down. If the switch melts, it will produce smoke and a fire could occur.
The fix
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side power window switch assembly free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about October 5, 2011. Owners May contact Honda automobile customer service at 1-800-999-1009.
