Buying a used 2020 Honda CR-V? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 354 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Honda CR-V has 7 recalls covering loose rear subframe bolts, seat belt buckles, fuel pump failure, a cracking passenger seat sensor, unintended passenger airbag deployment, an inaccurate fuel gauge, and incorrect door-label weight and tire information. The label correction is informational, alongside mechanical and restraint concerns. Its 354 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports: forward collision avoidance leads with 76, followed by air bags with 47, electrical system with 43, and steering with 38.

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 rear subframe bolt and fuel pump recall completion.
3. Request buckle, passenger seat sensor, and airbag recall records.
4. Confirm fuel gauge and door-label corrections; ask about 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.
