Consumer Description

VEHICLE LOW BEAMS STOPPED WORKING. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED CHARRED WIRE AND MELTED CONNECTOR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY HONDA FOR THE SAME MODEL ON AN EARLIER MODEL YEAR (NHTSA ID 12V136000). HONDA PART DESIGNATIONS AND FAILURE DESCRIPTION MATCH RECALL. I WOULD RECOMMEND HONDA EXPAND RECALL TO COVER ALL EFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
