Honda is recalling about 106,000 CR-V hybrid sport-utility vehicles for model years 2020 through 2022.

At issue is a 12-volt battery cable that may be missing a fuse, potentially causing the cable to short-circuit or overheat during a crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in a notice on its website that dealers have been instructed to replace the battery cable free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed out Jan. 29.

Owners can contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda’s code for the recall is FGB.
