    Honda recalls 962,000 cars worldwide

    TOKYO (AP) — Honda Motor Co. says it will recall a total of 962,000 cars worldwide to fix power windows and computer systems.

    Honda will recall 936,000 units of the Fit subcompact, CR-V crossover and Fit Aria in North America, Asia, Europe and Africa, the company said Monday. The Fit is called Jazz in some overseas markets, while the Fit Aria is also known as City.

    Honda says the recall was prompted by defects in driver's-side power window switch units, which could potentially melt and catch fire.

    It will also recall 26,000 CR-Z compact hybrids globally due to programming problems with the engine control unit.

    There have been no injuries because of the defects, Honda says.

      Had two Honda's (97 Civic and a 98 CRV) They both ran without major problems well over 250K. The CRV still had the original CV Joints and the only part I replaced was the radiator. Traded them because I was sick of driving the same car for 10 years plus. Would like to hear the same success stories about Chevy, Chrysler and Ford.................. hello............ anyone??

      Its good that a big company like Honda can address issues that plague their vehicles, but why to this day have they not addressed their weak, failure prone automatic transmissions that dont even have filters in them. Do your research on Honda and Acura cars from like the mid 90's to now. They all have major transmission issues. Ask any owner of an automatic transmission Acura TL, Honda Accord, or Civic prior to 2007 and you will see what Im talking about.

      In other news, people report they enjoy the glowing aura of the Honda.

      Would you mind fixing the windows in my '98 Civic? Driver and passenger side both went out within a couple months of each other.

      PERFECT reason why this country is in financial turmoil... instead of supporting and buying a BIG 3 the traitors here buy foreign CRAP. We need tax breaks for those that buy domestic and HEAVILY TAX all foreign CRAP.

        Hondas are made in America....and "the big 3" hasn't figured out how to build a decent car since the 70's.

        I beg to differ

      Why is this not on the front page?
    • Don H  •  8 mths ago
      Honda should revert back to their '92-95 era's engineering.

      Where does the money go?
    • Jeffro  •  8 mths ago
      Japanese cars are still far superior to American. Don't believe the hype over Ford. They will go down in quality. Most of the Union workers go out and drink on their lunch hour.

      That crocodile can swallow you in one gulp.
    • Unobtanium  •  8 mths ago
      Purchase a Ford, and you'll NEVER have these problems! I think Ford, while not "technnically American" anymore, has increased 100% in quality over the past ten years. Sure there are still clunkers like the Ranger, but I'd take a new Explorer or Taurus any day of the week and twice on Sunday.
      • Me 8 mths ago
        While I agree that Ford has improved, I disagree that one will NEVER have problems with them. Any and every maker put's out a lemon now and again.

        My 98 Ford truck has 247,000 mile on it. Had to replace one a coil pack in the engine. Thats it! (except brakes and tires)...
    • tomnan  •  8 mths ago
      What's 'foreign'?? Ford is made in So America, Japanese is made in America....lol.....all companies are worldwide anymore....you can thank American management for the decline of quality.
      • Jeffro 8 mths ago
        More like "assembled" in America. Look at the sticker. Usually the engine, transmission, etc are all made in Japan.
    • tomnan  •  8 mths ago
      It is sad......quality of everything is gone today....temps unfamiliar with processes, full time workers apathy, corp demands of quantity over quality, NAFTA~the horror stories from it continue.......it's a downhill spiral with only one outcome.....and the mirror tells it all...
    • tomnan  •  8 mths ago
      must be Toyota's fault......lol

      Honda -- the triumph of advertising over reality.
