1998 HONDA CR-V Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1998 Honda CR-V has 2 recalls, both covering the same electrical defect: an under-dash wire harness that can rub against the brake light switch, wear through its insulation, and blow a fuse. When a fuse fails this way, it can knock out critical systems depending on which circuit is affected, including headlights, tail lamps, turn signals, hazard lights, windshield wipers, anti-lock brakes, or the battery charging system. Losing lighting or wiper function without warning raises the risk of a crash, particularly in low visibility or wet conditions.
