Oil dripping onto the exhaust system caused fires that destroyed at least 27 Honda CR-V SUVs from the 2003 and 2004 model years, according to an investigation conducted by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration. All of the incidents have occurred shortly after the models' first oil change.

Although no injuries have been reported, most of the cars were destroyed by the fires. Many had logged under 10,000 miles. Honda has yet to determine why the fires are only occurring in the 2003 and 2004 CR-V models. Over 140,000 CR-Vs were sold in 2003.
