Buying a used 2018 Honda CR-V? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 2,137 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Honda CR-V has 5 recalls involving unintended power steering input, fuel pump failure, seat belt buckles that may not latch, and unintended front passenger airbag deployment. Fuel pump concerns appear in two listed entries, making complete VIN-specific repair documentation useful. Its 2137 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by engine with 527, forward collision avoidance with 392, fuel/propulsion system with 369, and steering with 323. Engine and collision avoidance complaints extend beyond the listed restraint issues.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify completion of all applicable fuel pump recall work.
3. Request steering recall records and ask about unwanted steering input.
4. Verify buckle and airbag remedies; ask about engine and collision-warning faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
