Honda Announces Global Recall of Nearly 1 Million Vehicles (BLOG)

Honda announced Monday that it would recall about 960,000 vehicles globally for problems with the window switches and hybrid powertrains.

In the U.S., the affected models are primarily the CR-V and CR-Z hybrid. For the CR-V crossover, 80,111 units from model year 2006 are affected by a problem that leads to residue from cleaners building up on the power-window master switch, damaging the electrical contacts and possibly leading to a fire.
