Honda is recalling more than 268 000 of its popular CR-V.

The recall impacting crossovers from the model years 2002-6, is over an electrical switch in the driver's side door which could melt & cause a fire.  Honda says rain could get in through an open window & damage that switch.  There have been 4 fires reported so far.

Honda is telling CRV drivers to park outside, with their windows up until their cars are fixed.

Meanwhile Chrysler is recalling over 44 000 trucks over a problem that could cause drivers to lose control & crash.

The recall is for Ram 1500 & Dodge Dakota trucks from the 2009-2010 model year.

A lack of adhesive could cause the rear axle pinion nut to loosen which would lock up the axle & make the truck impossible to steer.

There have been 15 reports of rear axle failure including 4 crashes.

Chrysler will start to send recall letters to owners next month.  Dealerships will fix the problem by installing a retainer that will keep the pinion nut in place.
