Honda and Acura front passenger airbags may deploy unintentionally high

Reported May 21, 2026 · Campaign 26V332000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022

Honda is recalling certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, HR-V, Fit, Insight, Passport and the Acura TLX, RDX and MDX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short circuit. If that happens, the airbags can go off when they should not during a crash. Dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no cost. This recall expands an earlier recall.

Honda and Acura Steering Gearbox Can Cause Difficulty Steering medium

Reported Oct 3, 2024 · Campaign 24V744000 · Model years: 2023, 2024, 2025

Honda says the steering gearbox in these vehicles may not have been manufactured correctly. This defect can create too much internal friction inside the gearbox assembly. That extra friction can make the steering feel harder to turn, so drivers may have more difficulty steering the vehicle than they should. Honda is recalling the vehicles to fix this steering gearbox problem so the issue is corrected properly.

Honda CR-V tires missing required date code marking medium

Reported Jul 2, 2024 · Campaign 24V508000 · Model years: 2024

Honda is recalling certain 2024 CR-V vehicles because the identification number stamped on the tires is missing its four-digit date code. That code is part of the marking required by a federal safety standard for tires on light vehicles, so the tires as built do not meet that standard. Without the full number, an owner may not be able to tell whether their tires are covered by a safety recall. Dealers will inspect the tires and replace them if needed.

Honda and Acura passenger seat sensor may crack high

Reported Feb 1, 2024 · Campaign 24V064000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

Honda is recalling certain 2020 through 2022 Honda and Acura vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and the Acura MDX, RDX and TLX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short out. When that happens, the system may not switch off the front passenger airbag when it is supposed to.

Honda and Acura Fuel Pump May Fail high

Reported Dec 18, 2023 · Campaign 23V858000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023

In a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles, the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails while you are driving, the engine can suddenly stall.

Honda CR-V door label lists wrong weight and tire information medium

Reported Jul 27, 2023 · Campaign 23V524000 · Model years: 2020, 2022

Honda is recalling certain CR-V vehicles. The certification label on the driver's side door lists the wrong weight ratings for the vehicle and its axles, and the wrong tire size. Because the label is incorrect, the vehicle does not meet the federal rule covering tire selection and rims, and someone relying on the label could end up with the wrong size tire. A dealer will install a new, corrected label at no cost.

Honda, Acura Seat Belt Buckles May Not Latch high

Reported Mar 9, 2023 · Campaign 23V158000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020

Certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the CR-V, Accord, Accord Hybrid, Odyssey, Insight, and RDX, may have a manufacturing problem with the front seat belts. The buckle's channel may interfere with the release button, which can prevent the seat belt buckle from latching properly. This means the seat belt may not click into place and hold securely the way it is supposed to for the driver or front passenger seat.

Honda CR-V Front Passenger Seat Frame Weld Issue medium

Reported Feb 16, 2023 · Campaign 23V092000 · Model years: 2023

The front passenger seat back frame may not have been welded properly. If the vehicle is in a crash, the seat back could fail to hold its position instead of staying firm and supporting the passenger the way it's supposed to.

Honda CR-V Fuel Gauge May Read Inaccurately medium

Reported May 26, 2022 · Campaign 22V380000 · Model years: 2020

In some Honda CR-V vehicles, a clip that holds a part inside the fuel tank wasn't secured properly and may come loose. This can cause the fuel gauge to show an inaccurate reading of how much fuel is left in the tank.

Honda Accord, CR-V, Ridgeline Center Belt May Not Lock high

Reported Nov 18, 2021 · Campaign 21V900000 · Model years: 2021

Honda is recalling certain Accord, Accord Hybrid, CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Insight and Ridgeline vehicles. The automatic locking feature on the second-row center seat belt may turn off when it should not, and a child seat held by that belt can be left unsecured. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for occupant crash protection. Dealers will replace the second-row center seat belt assembly at no cost to the owner.

Honda, Acura fuel pump may fail, stall engine high

Reported Mar 25, 2021 · Campaign 21V215000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

On many Honda and Acura models, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.

Honda CR-V rear subframe bolts may loosen high

Reported Dec 5, 2019 · Campaign 19V865000 · Model years: 2019, 2020

On some 2019-2020 Honda CR-V vehicles, the bolts holding the rear subframe in place were not made correctly and can loosen over time. If the bolts loosen enough, the rear subframe could separate from the vehicle. This would reduce handling and could suddenly disable the vehicle. Dealers will inspect the bolts and retighten or replace them as needed, free of charge.

Honda CR-V Owner's Guide Has Wrong Airbag Info medium

Reported Sep 26, 2019 · Campaign 19V694000 · Model years: 2019

Honda is recalling certain 2019 CR-V vehicles because the owner's guide incorrectly describes when the Passenger Airbag Off indicator should turn on. If the front passenger does not correctly understand how the airbag functions, they may be at an increased risk of personal injury in the event of a crash.

Honda CR-V Fuel Tank Weld Can Leak, Cause Fire critical

Reported Aug 1, 2019 · Campaign 19V569000 · Model years: 2019

In these vehicles, the weld joining the fuel tank to a vapor return line may not have been made well enough. Over time, this weak weld can fail. If it fails, fuel can leak out of the tank. A fuel leak that reaches a spark or flame can catch fire. To fix this, Honda will replace the entire fuel tank with a new one, at no cost to the owner.

Honda CR-V Steering Wheel Defect Can Disable Airbag high

Reported May 21, 2019 · Campaign 19V383000 · Model years: 2019

The steering wheel's inner metal core may have rough edges, called burrs, inside it. Those burrs can damage the wiring that runs through the steering wheel. If that wiring is damaged, the driver's airbag may stop working and fail to inflate in a crash. The damage can also cause the airbag to go off on its own, even when there's no crash at all.

Honda Civic, CR-V Unintended Power Steering Input high

Reported Sep 27, 2018 · Campaign 18V663000 · Model years: 2018

Honda is recalling certain 2017 and 2018 Civic and CR-V vehicles. These vehicles have a magnet that controls the torque sensor signal for the electric power steering system. This magnet may not be properly secured and can become dislodged. If this happens during a full lock turn, the dislodged magnet may cause the steering assist to apply in the opposite direction.

Which Honda CR-V model year has the most recalls?

The 2019 Honda CR-V has the most, with 8 recalls. The 2025 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.

How do I check whether my Honda CR-V has an open recall?

Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Honda dealer, including for second owners.
