2004 Honda Cr-v. Consumer writes in regards to a potential failure of the power window master switch. The consumer stated he received a recall notice regarding the power windows. He immediately contact the dealer and made an appointment. The consumer stated his vehicle was at the dealer for 9. 5 hours, and when he received the vehicle back, it was after dark, so he didn't notice until the next morning, that the power window master switch unit was loose, not sealed properly and was elevated out of its normal housing by 3. 8 inch. It was not sealed within the door as securely as before the recall was performed. The consumer returned to the dealer, but the switch still appeared improperly sealed and bulged up from the door housing. The service manager stated the recall required that the power master switch box be stuffed with insulation and then the power master switch unit needed to be forced back into the box to prevent waster from leaking inside. He also stated that the reason for the recall was because water could cause the wires of the power master switch unit to short-circuit potentially causing a fire and he further stated the power master switch unit would not fit as it did before the recall. The consumer stated stuffing the power master switch unit housing with insulation and forcing it back into position so that it was not sealed as securely as it was before the recall was not safe. The switch unit is now more prone to water exposure, short-circuit an fire. The consumer stated Honda should have replaced the entire power master switch insulated in its box as a single waterproof-sealed unit.
Master power window switch on driver's door started to burn and I could see smoke coming out of the switch. The result was a melted switch. I have a japan made 2004 Honda Cr-v with VIN # starting with jhlrdxx. By looking at the statement from american Honda, my VIN is not affected by the recall regarding the potential of fire at the master power window switch. What can I do? this is what happened to my car but it's not included by the recall.
The driver and passenger side front windows go all the way up when using the controls to raise the window. The dealer indicated to the consumer that this is the way the vehicle was designed. Please provide further details.
