SUMMARY:
Honda is recalling certain model year 2006 CR-V vehicles. The weld strength attaching the sub-frame bushing collar to the passenger-side front lower arm is insufficient. The collar can separate from the arm due to vibration while driving.

CONSEQUENCE:
As a result, a loss of steering can occur, increasing the risk of crash.

REMEDY:
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production lot stamp on the passenger-side front lower arm and, if necessary, replace the lower arm, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about April 17, 2012. Owners may contact Honda Customer Service at 1-800-999-1009.
