Honda Recalls 172,200 CR-V & Acura ILX
Honda is recalling 172,200 small SUVs and cars in the U.S. because the doors may not close.
The recall affects 166,000 CR-V SUVs from the 2012 model year and 6,200 Acura ILX small luxury cars from the 2013 model year.
Honda says that if the inside driver or passenger door handles are used at the same time as the power or manual door locks, the inner door latch may not work. This means a door may not latch, or it could latch and open when the locks are used.
The company says no crashes injuries have been reported because of the problem.
Honda says dealers will inspect the cars and fix them if needed. Owners should get letters from the company starting in mid-August.

6200 ILX?
Where are they?

The question is: how did they find this out in the first place? Did someone think "Today I feel like locking the doors at the same time as I open them."

A recall to avoid operator stupidity :) However in the past the way to lock your door from the inside, when the door was open, was to do exactly that, if not you could only lock it with the key.

Never had an impatient (or new) passenger in your car try to open their door when the automatic unlock is occurring?

When the July sales numbers come out, simply add those to the June and May numbers...
Will we then know how many are still sitting on dealers' lots?

My local Acura dealer has 13 ILX on the lot, and they provide VINs of each one. I have each VIN copied to a spreadsheet, and I am watching the stock to see how it moves.
Luckily, I haven't had to do anything, because that number 13 has not moved up or down in awhile.

Yep, I still do that on my non-remote lock cars (includes my sister's Camry, and my father-in-law's 1976 Corolla Hardtop coupe, if I am borrowing their cars). Operator stupidity is when I walk away with the keys still in the ignition.
Hard to imagine a driver doing that on a remote locking car, especially ILX. However, as a child I used to play around a lot with the locking and pulling handles, so that is a bad design.
SON IN ILX WAS A MISTAKE!

I fucked up my 07 Civic Si because I pulled the handel a little too soon after I hit the unlock button on the fob. I had to mess with it a while to fix the problem. I think the door wouldn't latch shut until I fixed it.

Should be a good way to waste another Saturday at the dealership. What is the fix?

I barely know how to respond to this. I thought I wasted my time looking up numbers and searching old threads....my paradigm for time-wasting has officially shifted.
What I find most interesting is that the recall went out a few days ago...they've been selling the ILX since May 22nd and producing it since April 23rd. I don't know when they found out about the problem but have they only produced 6200 ILX's since April 23rd? That's about 2000 a month...can't sell 40,000 ILX's in a year if you only produce 2,000 a month....

Maybe they caught the problem in earlier batches. Or maybe they really only sold 6200. who knows?

I wonder why Civics are not included; may be it uses a different design? If that's true, why ILX doesn't share the same design?

FWIW, Ford recalled ~11,500 1.6T Escape, of which 4,800 had been sold.
