Honda Motor CO Cr-v E:hev: Trailer Hitch Incorrect Part Number Label Attached (accessory)
Recall Summary Honda is recalling 64 CR-V e:HEV and CR-V e PHEV vehicles in the United Kingdom that may have an incorrectly labeled trailer hitch installed. The wrong hitch specification could contact the vehicle's high-voltage power system during a rear-end collision, potentially causing an electrical short circuit or fire, and may develop cracks under heavy towing loads that could lead to hitch detachment. Dealers will inspect the vehicles and replace the trailer hitch with the correct part if needed.
