Drivers with Honda CR-Vs may want to be paying close attention to their model year, as a new recall from the Japanese automaker could affect a lot of people. Christian Science Monitor reports more than 269,000 models from 2002 to 2006 are being recalled due to a problem with the master switch that controls the vehicle's windows.

The recall report, according to the news provider, says that liquids could seep into the door, reaching the power switch for the electrical windows. The problem could result in overheating and possibly even door fires.

Honda is aware of four fires thus far, none of which resulted in injuries, according to the news source. However, this is not the first time Honda has faced a recall for these models.

The New York Times reports a recall in September 2011 was announced for more than 80,000 CR-Vs from the 2006 model year. Additionally, the news provider reports that Honda as a brand has been experiencing a setback in the recall department in general.

At the beginning of the month, more than 1.1 million Hondas had been recalled for potential fire hazards since 2007. The numbers to push it over the edge came from a problem that could have affected more than 573,000 Accords. The issue stemmed from high temperatures in the engine that could cause the power-steering hose to wear down, potentially causing a leak.

Although the brand has been experiencing recalls on their newer models, Hondas are mostly known for their reliability and long life.
