Buying a used 2019 Honda CR-V? Check these 8 recalls first

8 NHTSA recalls · 1,095 owner complaints on file

Eight recalls are listed for this year, including two critical ones: a driver airbag that may fail or fire unexpectedly, and a fuel tank weld that can leak gasoline. Others cover rear subframe bolts that may loosen, two fuel pump campaigns, seat belts that may not latch, a seat sensor, and an owner's-guide correction about the passenger airbag light. Owners filed 1,095 unverified complaints — 30 crashes, 35 injuries — led by forward-collision avoidance, steering and electrical.

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. Run the VIN for the airbag and fuel tank recalls; ask for repair paperwork.
3. Have the rear subframe bolts inspected or confirm that recall was done.
4. Watch for false emergency braking and check underneath for fuel stains or odor.
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.
