Buying a used 2022 Honda CR-V Hybrid? Check these 4 recalls first
Four recalls cover this year: the critical hybrid battery cable that can overheat in a crash, a driveshaft that may break, a center seat belt that may not lock child seats, and a seat sensor that can cause unintended airbag deployment. None require stopping driving or parking outside. Complaint volume is modest — 75 unverified NHTSA reports, though they include 7 crashes, 2 injuries and 1 fire — with electrical, forward-collision avoidance and engine the main areas.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask if the driveshaft recall was done; listen for driveline clunks on the drive.
- If you carry kids, test the center belt's locking mode with a child seat.
- Check dash warning lights, infotainment and camera alerts for electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
