Summaries are quoted verbatim from NHTSA's official campaign records. A single campaign often covers dozens of model years and several nameplates, so a summary may name vehicles other than the 2006 CR-V — that is normal. Every record listed here carries this vehicle's own make, model and model year in NHTSA's database. Whether a recall is still open on a particular car can only be determined by VIN.

I TOOK MY CRV IN FOR SERVICE AT SILKO HONDA IN RAYNHAM, MA. THEY DIAGNOSED A SHORT IN THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INFLATOR. I BELIEVE THAT THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THAT AIRBAG WAS REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO AS PART OF THE TAKATA RECALL. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PART IS ONLY 1 YEAR. I BELIEVE THAT HONDA SHOULD COVER THE REPAIR OF THIS SAFETY SENSITIVE ISSUE AS PART OF THE ONGOING ISSUES WITH ITS AIRBAGS.

Every few months one of my low beam headlamps goes out, and I replace it to stay in compliance with local traffic laws. Within the last week, both low beam headlights went out, and both sockets show burn damage that is similar to the issue reported in NHTSA recall: 04V086000. I am concerned that even if I replace both the lights and the sockets, there may be something else going on that could cause a fire. I'd like NHTSA to look into this please. Thank you

About 4 months ago I discovered that the electric operator on the front passenger window no longer worked. I recently had a mechanic try to repair it and he found that the motor worked well. He replaced the switches in both the passenger door and the driver's door but window only goes down and not up. The mechanic checked online and discovered that this vehicle model was recalled in December, 2020, for this problem. When I checked on getting my vehicle repaired through the recall, I discovered that my specific vehicle was not included in the recall. Because I am now aware of the risk of fire

Driver side power window will not open. Dangerous because if I am pulled over I can not roll down my window to speak with police. I’ve also seen reports of electrical fires associated with this issue. The issue has not been inspected by 3rd parties.
