Buying a used 2018 Honda HR-V? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 156 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Honda HR-V has 3 recalls in this group, addressing reduced brake performance and fuel pump failure. The repeated fuel pump titles make VIN-specific campaign records useful when checking completion. NHTSA lists 156 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 11 crashes and 5 injuries. Electrical system is the leading listed area with 47 reports; fuel system and gasoline each have 27, and unknown or other has 22. Those category counts should not be added as unique complaints.

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 the reduced-brake-performance recall.
3. Confirm all applicable fuel pump campaigns are closed.
4. Ask about electrical faults, stalling, and fuel-system repairs.
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.
