Why are CRVs catching fire?

ako nasunog alternator ko... so pinatay ko aircon tapos pinalitan agad... buti na lang naagapan...

Maybe it IS only for the 2.4... my bet is on faulty oil filter gasket material or in the quality of the oil filter itself... notice that these incidents were connected to the regular free service oil change.

The fault could be in the factory or supplier making the OEM filters.

Na-ipost na din ito dati.

It's simply a factory defect on the models concerned. Honda just refuses to admit their fault. Victims must demand for their money back. For sure, this will significantly affect sales.

It is still better to have your oil change in the casa. Also the CRV being sold here are 2.0 liter and not 2.4 liter. There might be a difference.

[squala]

But that 2.4-liter engine is similar to the base Accord currently on sale here. Don't panic, though, the Accord has a different gearbox, and there haven't been such cases reported in the US yet.

nasa above ba ng exhaust pipe yung oil filter sa CRV 2.4?

[Psylocke]

totoo ba ito?

damn!!!

natutunaw ba ang diamond?

charcoal is carbon

diamond is carbon

That may be true.... But I don't think that diamonds can melt. Or not that quickly at least.

Tagal na pala ng thread na 'to.

if the fire reached 3820ºK (which is quite impossible), then maybe.



*3820ºK is the melting point of mineral Diamond.
