Honda recalls 106,000 CR-V hybrid SUVs because of potential fire risk. Here’s what to know.

Honda Motor's U.S. unit is recalling roughly 106,000 CR-V hybrid sport utility vehicles because of a battery cable problem that can increase the risk of a fire in an accident.The recall affects some CR-V SUVs for the model years 2020 through 2022, according to a notice posted Wednesday by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). A missing fuse on a 12-volt battery cable outside the vehicles can cause the battery cable to short circuit or overheat during a crash, potentially sparking a fire.Honda said dealers will replace the battery cable for free, although CR-V owners who paid for any needed repairs may be eligible for reimbursement, NHTSA said. The automaker expects to notify affected car owners by mail on Jan. 29,...

UAW begins drive to unionize workers at Tesla, Toyota and other non-unionized automakers

The United Auto Workers union said its next target is to unionize factory workers at Lucid, Rivian, Tesla and 10 foreign automakers, a move that comes after it garnered new employment contracts from Detroit's Big Three automakers.BMW, Honda, Hyundai, Nissan, Mazda, Mercedes, Subaru, Toyota, Volkswagen and Volvo are based overseas but all have manufacturing operations in the U.S. Because these companies have brought in billions of dollars in profit over the past decade, their hourly factory workers deserve to make more money, UAW President Shawn Fain said in a video Wednesday.Also on the union's list are U.S. factories run by electric vehicle sales leader Tesla, as well as EV startups Rivian and Lucid. All three are U.S.-based companies. "To all the auto...

Honda recalls more than 300,000 Accords and HR-Vs over missing seat belt piece

Honda is recalling several hundred thousand 2023-2024 Accord and HR-V vehicles due to a missing piece in the front seat belt pretensioners, which could increase injury risks during a crash.According to notices published by Honda and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration earlier this week, the pretensioners — which tighten seat belts in place upon impact — may be missing the rivet that secures the quick connector and wire plate. This means that passengers may not be properly restrained in a crash, regulators said.The NHSTA credited the issue to an error made during assembly. More than 300,000 Accords and HR-Vs are potentially affected. Dealers will inspect and replace the seat belt pretensioner assemblies as necessary, free...

Hyundai, Honda and Toyota have all raised worker pay since UAW strike ended

Hyundai said Monday it will raise hourly pay for the South Korean automaker's employees in the U.S., upping wages just weeks after the United Auto Workers union struck new labor contract agreements with Detroit's Big 3 car manufacturers.By 2028, employees in Hyundai plants in Montgomery, Alabama, and Ellabell, Georgia, will see their hourly wages raised by a total of 25%, according to the company. That matches the wage increase UAW members are slated to receive from Ford, General Motors and Stellantis. Earlier this month, Toyota said it would lift factory hourly wage between 9% and 10% starting in January, while Honda announced an 11% wage. The Japanese car manufacturers also reduced the time it takes for a starting employee to reach the top pay rate, matching or coming close to the time ...

These seven automakers are making a national network of EV charging stations

Seven of the world's largest automakers said Wednesday that they're working together to build a new nationwide network of 30,000 electric vehicle charging stations, an effort to stoke already growing consumer demand for EVs.BMW, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mercedes and Stellantis said the first batch of their "high-powered charging" stations will be available next summer.
