Honda recalls 554,000 older-model SUVs

Honda Motor Co. is recalling about 554,000 sport-utility vehicles in the United States to inspect for faulty wiring in headlights. Honda said in a statement that the recall affects CR-V SUVs from model years 2002 to 2004 and Pilot SUVs from model year 2003. The Japanese automaker will inspect and replace parts of the headlight wiring system that could fail, causing the low-beam headlights not to work and increase the risk of crash. No injuries or crashes have been reported relating to the issue, Honda said. Letters will be mailed to affected owners in late April, but consumers can see whether their vehicles require repairs by going to www.recalls.honda.com or
