Buying a used 2023 Honda CR-V Hybrid? Check these 5 recalls first
Two critical recalls apply: a hybrid battery that can spark and cause fire, and a fuel pump that can leak. Also listed are a transmission that may lose power, a steering gearbox that can make steering difficult, and a tire kit cap that can fly off. None carry stop-driving or park-outside warnings. Of 114 unverified owner complaints, steering accounts for 72 — the largest area, and the same subject as the gearbox recall — with lane departure, electrical and fuel next.
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.
- Confirm the steering gearbox recall; note any stiff or notchy steering.
- Get documentation on the battery and fuel pump recalls; check for fuel odor.
- Verify the tire repair kit is present with its cap intact.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
