WASHINGTON (AP) -- Honda Motor Co. is recalling 130,617 CR-V sport utility
vehicles because the driver's air bag may inflate incorrectly, federal
regulators said Wednesday.

Vehicles from the 2002-2004 model years are included in the recall. The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said some air bags have bad
wiring and could inflate at the wrong rate, increasing the driver's risk of
injury in a crash. Dealers will repair the wiring beginning this month, NHTSA
said.

Honda also is recalling 19,572 Accord sedans because their instrument panel
lights can fail. Sedans from the 2000-2001 model years are included in the
recall.

Regulators said heat buildup inside the instrument panel is causing the panel
lights to go out. Honda is expected to begin notifying owners about the recall
next month, the government said.
