Honda is recalling over 1.4 million vehicles in the U.S. to repair drive shafts that can break, window switches that can overheat and a software flaw.

The software recall includes:

    737,000 Honda Accords from 2018 to 2020 and Honda Insights from 2019 and 2020

•••••

Two drive shaft recalls cover:

    430,000 Honda Civic Hybrids from 2012
    The 2007 through 2014 Honda Fit
    The 2013 through 2015 Acura ILX
     The 2013 through 2015 Honda Accord

The vehicles are sold in 22 states where salt is used to clear roads in the winter. The drive shafts can break due to corrosion.

•••••

The power-window switch recall includes:

    About 268,000 Honda CR-Vs from 2002 through 2006

Water can get into an open driver's window and cause an electrical short, possibly touching off a fire. It's the second recall for the same issue. The cars were recalled starting in October of 2012, but the repairs didn't work.
