NHTSA Complaint #11246713 — 2006 HONDA CR-V

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V-124 MFR CAMPAIGN ID: S33 CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION: FRONT LOWER ARM WELD RECALL DATE: 03/22/2012 SUMMARY: HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 CR-V VEHICLES. THE WELD STRENGTH ATTACHING THE SUB-FRAME BUSHING COLLAR TO THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM IS INSUFFICIENT. THE COLLAR CAN SEPARATE FROM THE ARM DUE TO VIBRATION WHILE DRIVING. SAFETY RISK: AS A RESULT, A LOSS OF STEERING CAN OCCUR, INCREASING THE RISK OF CRASH. REMEDY: HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE PRODUCTION LOT STAMP ON THE PASSENGER-SIDE FRONT LOWER ARM AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THE LOWER ARM, FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR ABOUT APRIL 17, 2012. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1-800-999-1009. I HAVE HAD THIS PART BREAK ON MY 2006 HONDA CRV TWICE. THIS IS THE SAME PART THAT IS LISTED IN THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE MY VIN ADDED TO THE CAMPAIGN BECAUSE I AM WORRIED THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AND AFFECT THE SAFETY OF MY DRIVING. WHEN I TURN, I AM ABLE TO FEEL THE STEERING NOT AS STABLE AS IT SHOULD BE.
