Buying a used 2019 Honda CR-V? Check these 8 recalls first
The 2019 Honda CR-V has 8 recalls spanning fuel tank weld leakage and fire risk, fuel pump failure, a steering wheel defect affecting the airbag, loose rear subframe bolts, seat belt buckles, unintended passenger airbag deployment, and incorrect airbag guidance.

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.
- Verify fuel tank weld and all applicable fuel pump recall remedies.
- Request rear subframe bolt, steering wheel, buckle, and airbag repair records.
- Confirm corrected airbag guidance and ask about collision-warning or 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.
