After Toyota delayed its recall and got fined for it, car companies seem to be more responsive to potential defects and are being more proactive about recalls. For instance, today Honda announced it was recalling more than 962,000 vehicles because of problems with the power windows and computer systems. The cars recalled include the Fit subcompact, CR-V crossover and Fit Aria in North America, Asia, Europe and Africa. The Fit is also called Jazz in some places, and the Aria in others.
The recall is because defects in the driver's-side power window switch units could melt and catch fire. The recall will also include 26,000 CR-Z compact hybrids because of computer problems with the engine control unit.
