The federal safety agency recall number: 12v‑124 mfr campaign id: s33 campaign description: front lower arm weld recall date: 03/22/2012 summary: honda is recalling certain model year 2006 cr-v vehicles. The weld strength attaching the sub-frame bushing collar to the passenger-side front lower arm is insufficient. The collar can separate from the arm due to vibration while driving. Safety risk: as a result, a loss of steering can occur, increasing the risk of crash. Remedy: honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production lot stamp on the passenger-side front lower arm and, if necessary, replace the lower arm, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about april 17, 2012. Owners may contact honda customer service at 1‑800‑999‑1009. I have had this part break on my 2006 honda crv twice. This is the same part that is listed in the recall. I would like to have my VIN added to the campaign because I am worried that it will happen again and affect the safety of my driving. When I turn, I am able to feel the steering not as stable as it should be.

While driving down the fairfax county parkway (westbound between greenspring village and rolling rd) at about 40 or 45mph, the hood on my 2006 honda crv opened by itself. It flew open and obstructed the window. I had to stop in a travel lane before proceeding to the shoulder at low speed. I'm lucky I wasnt hurt and didnt cause an accident. I had not opened the hood in weeks.

I am the automotive technician examining the vehicle. Mr. Jared larsen complained that his steering wheel began being off center both to the left and the right. Sometimes as much as 90 degrees off center. Upon examining the vehicle it was found that the steel insert where the steering wheel mounts to the steering shaft has stripped out to the steering wheel. Under moderate pressure the steering wheel becomes loose and there is no steering response. (notice the white stripe at the 9 o'clock position in the pictures and the second picture the stripe is split between 9 and 12) loss of steering can result in a crash. The vehicle will be repaired and the old steering wheel available for examination on request.

I took my vehicle to the honda dealer for its 90,000 service. At this time honda dealer recommended work but did not perform replace front lower arm compliance bushing, ball joints boot torn. Honda did not mention the federal safety agency campaign id 12v12400, (suspension front control arm lower arm). I felt like the honda rep did not explain my options, and did not listen to my concerns. I had it repaired at another auto care center. On 9-13-2012, the AC system went, compressor locked up. It needed an entire new AC system. At this time, the mechanic made me aware of the federal safety agency campaign id 12v12400 as well as many complaints on line of honda AC compressor problems and the class action lawsuit (now over). One part ruined the entire AC system. Honda was less than honest in wanting to charge me for the suspension front control arm lower arm). These repairs totaled $2500.

Steering locked up and driver lost ability to steer. Vehicle moved to left. Driver tried to brake but brakes failed. Witnesses described vehicle lurching to left and seeing brake lights come on but vehicle did not slow down. Car hit a street lamp and bounced to the right. Side airbags deployed. Front left wheel fell off the car. Driver sustained a mild concussion. Note that honda has issued a recall for some 2006 cr-v's related to suspension which could cause loss of steering (honda recall 12-020). This vehicle was not included in the recall but the incident seems very similar to the recall issue.
