Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling certain 2012 Honda CR-V and 2013 Acura ILX vehicles because the front door latch may not fully engage, which could allow doors to open while driving or during a crash. The problem occurs when the manual or power door lock is activated at the same time an occupant is operating an interior front door handle, causing a cable connecting the handle to the latch mechanism to become loose and move out of position.

Honda will notify owners and replace the front door latch assemblies at no charge through authorized dealers. For certain CR-V models, interior front door handles will also be replaced at no charge. Affected consumers should contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009 for more information about scheduling this service.

Additionally, the interior front door handles in certain Honda CR-Vs will also be replaced, free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on, or about, August 16, 2012.
