What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 honda cr-v. The contact stated that while turning the vehicle on the front left headlight burned out. The headlight malfunctioned four times and the contact had to change the light bulb consistently. The failure was diagnosed and the dealer could not determine what caused the light bulbs to burn out. The headlight was repaired by replacing a new bulb whenever the failure occurred. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 89,000.
Why has the 2005 not been recalled for exterior lighting. The bulbs frequently needed replaced and then the went out for good. We can use the fog lights and the high beams but not the low beam head lights. We've changed fuses and bulbs with not result. Please add this to the recall.
