Consumer Description

AFTER READING THE DESCRIPTION FOR 2002-06 HONDA CR-V POWER WINDOW MASTER SWITCH (PWMS) RECALL (NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 20V-768 ISSUED ON 12/10/2020), I REALIZED THAT MY 2002 HONDA ACCORD PWMS HAS SIMILAR SYMPTOM OF WARM FEELING AND STOPPED TO ROLL DOWN/UP WINDOWS. UPON GOOGLING, THERE ARE NUMEROUS PWMS REPLACEMENT DIY VIDEOS WITH SIMILAR FAILURES ON YOUTUBE. DURING THOSE YEARS OF PRODUCTION, THE PWMS FOR CRV AND ACCORD LOOKS SIMILAR. PARTICULARLY, DRIVER'S SIDE PWMS ON MY 2002 ACCORD HAS THE IDENTICAL SYMPTOM AS THE 2002-06 CRV HAS, HEREBY, EXPOSING TO THE SAME SAFETY DANGER OF FIRE RISK. I AM FILING THE COMPLAINT TO REQUEST HONDA TO ISSUE SAFETY RECALL DRIVER'S SIDE PWMS ON 2002 ACCORD.
