Low beam headlight on driver side intermittent. Bang on headlight and it goes on. Now it doesn't work at all. Have changed bulb but this has not helped.

- Long Beach, CA, USA

Low beam headlamps continuously burn out. Each lamp burns out after four to five months. I have tried lamps costing from $10 to $25 each from two different manufacturers. No significant difference if operating life.

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.

- Portage, MI, USA

The headlights no longer work. We can use the fog lights and the brights but not the headlights. We've had the bulbs and the fuses changed without any result. Other years for this same model have been recalled for this issue, but not the 2005 as of yet.

Both low beam headlights stopped working at the same time. I was parked when this happened. The fuses are fine. This is the same failure for which Honda has issued a recall, but limited it to 2002-2004 Cr-vs. There are numerous accounts of this failure on repair forums for 2005 year Cr-vs, and a number of complaints already in the nhstb database as well. The recall needs to be expanded to cover the year 2005.

The headlights of my 2005 CRV have had to be replaced 3 times on each side during the last year. I see that there is a recall for that defect but it does not cover the 2005 models. When will Honda announce the recall on this for the 2005 model? I am concerned that both headlights will fail at the same time and I will be driving at night. Then it will be a huge safety issue.

My Honda CR-V has had the headlights go out approximately 8 times in the last 18 months. They usually go out one at a time, but this past weekend, they both went out simultaneously. Honda says this is a recall for 2002 to 2004 CR-V for a wiring issue on the low beam headlights, but 2005 is not included. I believe there is defective wiring in my headlight system and should be covered by a recall.

- Louisville, CO, USA

Keep replacing headlights for the last three years every 3 to 6 months! it is amazing how many people are having the same issues and Honda does not admit there is an electrical issue with 2005 Honda C-rv. Now the passenger headlight will not work at all.taking it to the dealership to see what they say and if I don't like there answer I will go elsewhere! possible lawsuit!

Since 2010 low beam headlights fail, one side or the other, every 2 or 3 months. Have replaced both sides several times. I just heard about a recall and discovered 2005 not included - it needs to be.

I am experiencing the exact same problem of headlight shorting out as your new recall for 2002 - 2004 owners. My car is 2005 ut not covered under this recall. Why"?"

I purchased my 2005 Honda CRV in August, 2005 and have had to replace both headlight bulbs at least twice a year. The driver's side headlight bulb has burned out more frequently than the passenger side. The Honda dealerships do not think this is a problem and will not acknowledge any concern stating there have been no recalls initiated by Honda addressing this problem. Also, the lights that illuminate the temperature gauge, and the RPM indicator on the dashboard are burnt out completely, and the speedometer gauge is only partially illuminated, as well as the indicator dials/selectors that control the ac/heater fan speed, temperature, and position of the air to be distributed. Honda dealerships claim that the dashboard lights are fuse related and the indicator/selector dials will have to be replaced completely to correct the problem. This problem occurred approximately four years ago.

In August 2011, right headlight burned out and two weeks later, left headlight burned out. Mid December, left burned out again and by end of December 2011, left burned out yet again within about two weeks of changing it. It appears other CR-V owners are experiencing frequent burnouts as well. I haven't personally tested to see if it's only low beam vs high beam but if it happens again, will do so.
