PROBLEM is only caused if someone spills liquid on a switch in the driver’s door or a large amount of rain water gets on it.
HONDA are recalling 268,000 cars – amid fears that an electrical switch in the driver’s door could melt and cause a fire.
The problem, which affects CR-V models built from 2002 to 2006, has led to four fires but no injuries or crashes, the car makers said.
A Honda spokesman said it’s only a problem if someone spills liquid on to the switch or if a large amount of rain water gets into the car through the driver’s window.
The company will start contacting affected owners next month to arrange for a cover plate to be installed inside the switch free of charge.
