Honda Motor Co. is recalling more than 321,500 vehicles worldwide to repair malfunctioning front door latches. The campaign, which will begin next month, includes 172,800 vehicles in the U.S. and 21,700 in Canada.
The recall covers 2012 model year Honda CR-V small crossover vehicles and 2013 model year Acura ILX small sedans. Those models were redesigned in 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Honda says the problem occurs if the inside door handle is used at the same time the door lock is applied. Under those circumstances, the latch may not secure the door. Or it may latch the door but unlatch it when the door lock is used.

2015 NAIAS Seen (or Scene)
Patrick Wong, photographer and designer, braved the snow and single-digit temperatures that were outside of Detroit’s Cobo Center and found several vehicles of visual interest. . . . FORD GT This is a car that was rumored to be coming, yet which was kept undercover exceedingly well so that when it was revealed, the gasps in Joe Louis Arena caused a momentary lack of oxygen in the room: ACURA NSX Acura’s stand was directly across from Ford’s. And Acura revealed the production version of the NSX. Some argued that Acura should have challenged Ford to a race through the slippery streets of downtown Detroit. It would have probably won, because this hybrid as all-wheel-drive: ALFA ROMEO 4C SPIDER The question is whether this is a study in Italian sexiness or lightweight. This car features a body of SMC, a carbon-fiber monocoque, aluminum chassis and engine mounting components, and an all-aluminum, 237-hp turbocharged engine. And yes, you can remove the carbon-fiber roof: VOLKSWAGEN CROSS COUPE GTE American drivers are snapping up crossover vehicles of all size with vigor of late. And so Volkswagen has wisely decided that because it has that giant manufacturing plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, that’s making Passats that are sedans, not crossovers, it needs to do something. And that something is the Cross Coupe GTE, a seven-passenger crossover that will go into production near the end of 2016. Oh, and it is a hybrid.
