The bulbs in my low-beam headlights continually burn out while in motion, usually on a rural highway. This is very dangerous when driving, especially on dark country roads. To give you an idea, I am having to replace the bulbs 3-4 times per year on each headlight. From a quick internet search, I can see this is a common problem for many, many honda crv owners. It looks like there was a recall for this issue for the 2002-2004 models (the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v136000) - will you please expand this recall to include the 2005? If both headlights go dark at the same time, it will probably cause an accident. With this happening so often on the 2005, the likelihood of an accident increases. Please help. (the latest date of 12/1/2020 when my light burned out is in the field below, but it has also happened several times this year.)

Low beams stopped working while parked thankfully. I replaced the headlight switch, thinking that it was causing the issue, and noticed that a terminal in the connector was burnt so bad that it carried other terminals, causing the high beams to stop working as well. According to my research, this has happened to many other cars of the same model and is a huge safety hazard.

The running lights & low beam lights fail repeatedly. Running, standing or start up; it doesn't matter. The bulbs burn out. Both lights use the same halogen bulb. This is the same problem covered in your honda cr-v recall # 12v13600 (honda # s34) affecting the 2002,'03 and 2004 model years. Model years 2005 and possibly beyond should have been included.

Was driving the vehicle at night and both low beam head lights went out and remained out. Had to stop to prevent crash. Driver could not see. Very dangerous! High beams working but did not realize until later. Read that this is a problem with many hondas and a tsb issued for other models, but not this one. This model and year needs a tsb as well. Read that others with this model and year have had same problem but there is no tsb for it.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. The contact stated that the driver and passenger side low beam headlights failed to remain illuminated and were replaced four times in one year. In addition, the instrument panel lighting failed to illuminate. As a result, the contact could not view the gauges. An independent mechanic provided replacement parts for the low beam headlights and instrument panel lighting, but the failures continued. The cause of the electrical failures was unknown. The contact stated that the vehicle also exhibited tire cupping for the rear tires. The tires had been replaced every 2.5 years due to excessive treadwear on the rear tires. The contact had the tires rotated every 3,000 miles; however, the rear tire cupping continued. First team honda (3444 western branch blvd, chesapeake, va 23321, (757) 337-6597) and williamsburg honda (7101 richmond rd, williamsburg, va 23188, (757) 564-4671) were notified of the failures. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 10,000.

I've own this vehicle for about 4 years and it has been an ongoing issue ever since I own this vehicle. I constantly have to replace the low beam light bulbs on both driver and passenger side. They seem to go out while driving. It is very dangerous for me to drive with only one headlight (low beam) especially there is no street lights and also for oncoming drivers if I use the high beam to drive. There is a same problem for this model - years 2002 ' 2004 (the federal safety agency campaign number: 12v136000). Please expand the recall to include model year 2005 as well before someone get injured.

Headlight recall. I am aware that there have been some headlight recalls on previous year models of honda crv. I have a 2005. The front headlights burn out and/or fail very frequently. I have owned the crv for maybe 5 years and have had to replace the bulbs 4 to 5 times. Now the right headlamp will not work even with a brand new bulb. This seems to be an electrical problem. The headlights could fail while driving at night. Please look into it. The date entered below is just the most recent failure.

The low beam headlights have failed while the high beams continue to work. This same failure in other honda models merited a safety recall. Please see honda service bulletins 12-056 and 04-15. The 2005 cr-v has the same part, failure, and repair procedure for the light switch wire harness located in the steering column. I feel a safety recall should apply to my vehicle, since it is the same failure, same part to replace and same danger. This is a widely reported issue on the honda service boards.
