Honda Recalls Nearly 1 Million Cars

Honda is recalling nearly 1 million cars to repair problems with power windows and computer equipment.

The recall, which includes 962,000 cars worldwide, follows the recall of more than 2.3 million Hondas last month to fix automatic transmission problems.

The latest recall includes Fit compacts, CR-V and City models in Japan, China, the U.S., Europe and elsewhere.

The problem involves defective power-window switches. A Honda spokeswoman said there were nine reported cases of vehicles catching on fire in Japan and China because of the power-window problem. She also said two people reported light burns after touching overheated switches.

Honda is also recalling 26,000 CR-Z hybrid models in Japan, the U.S., Canada and other markets because of defective programming of electronic-control units.
