Buying a used 2023 Honda CR-V? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 514 owner complaints on file

This year carries a steering gearbox recall for steering that may become difficult, alongside the fuel pump stall recall and a medium-severity recall for a passenger seat back that may not hold. Owner complaints reach 514, the highest of the CR-V years listed, with 323 filed under steering. These NHTSA reports are unverified, but the volume tracks the gearbox recall subject. Totals include 21 crashes, 1 fire and 18 injuries. No stop-driving or park-outside advisory applies.

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 by VIN that the steering gearbox recall repair was performed
3. Test steering at parking speed and highway speed for sticky or notchy feel
4. Load and push the passenger seat back to confirm it stays locked upright
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.
