VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2002-2006 CR-V vehicles. Moisture may enter the driver side power window master switch, causing the switch to fail or melt.
- What it can cause
- If the switch fails, it could overheat and smoke, increasing the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power window master switch and inspect the wiring harness for damage, replacing it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began January 29, 2021. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is P9D.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 268,655 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 96% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2002 to 2006, so the oldest vehicles on it were 18 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the visibility 6 times before this, most recently in June 2013 as 13V260000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 5 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,361 complaints with NHTSA, 2,239 of them before this campaign was filed. 90 of those name the visibility, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in January 2002, 18 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on December 10, 2020 as campaign 20V768000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
