A CR-V recall was also released this summer for a faulty door latch, though it only impacted the current model year.

All Honda CR-V automobiles impacted n the most recent recall were made between February 19, 2002 and July 28, 2006, according to Inside Line. There are 268,655 automobiles in the U.S. affected and 489,000 worldwide, according to AutoGuide. It only impacts model years 2002 to 2006.
On the driver side door panel, there is the master control for power windows. The switch can overheat, melt or cause a fire in the car after some time. This is because it is positioned perfectly to the point where it can soak in moisture from rain or snow.
There have been no injuries reported though there were four fires reported. The CR-Vs probably affected are those that are seldom used.
