Honda CR-V recalls by model year
NHTSA's file holds 33 campaigns on CR-V model years 2012 to 2026, hybrid included; the 2020 CR-V has the most, 9. Pick your year to see each one.
The CR-V's recall list is longest on its fifth generation, sold from 2017 to 2022, the first with a turbocharged 1.5 liter engine: 7 campaigns cover the 2017, 8 the 2019 and 9 the 2020, the peak. In all, NHTSA's file lists 33 campaigns on CR-V and CR-V Hybrid model years 2012 to 2026. The fuel system leads with 7 campaigns, a reflection of Honda's 2023 fuel pump recall and of fuel supply pipe and high-pressure pump campaigns, ahead of equipment, air bags and electrical faults. The CR-V Fuel Cell EV, a hydrogen plug-in version sold from 2025, appears in campaigns on the tire repair kit. NCAP has rated the CR-V five stars overall every year since 2016. For 2025, the gas CR-V is rated 28 mpg combined and the hybrid up to 40.

Fuel pumps, fuel pipes and the 2023 campaign
23V858000, received on December 18, 2023, covered 2.5 million Hondas and Acuras from 2013 to 2023, the CR-V among them: the fuel pump could fail and the engine stall while driving. Earlier, a 2017 campaign concerned fuel supply pipes on the 2017 CR-V that could crack and leak, and a 2024 one high-pressure fuel pumps on hybrids. Fuel campaigns are worth confirming on any used CR-V from those years.
Steering and the 2023 redesign
The sixth-generation CR-V, launched for 2023 with a larger hybrid share, appears in 8 campaigns, among them 24V744000, received on October 3, 2024, which covered 1.7 million Hondas and Acuras whose steering gearbox worm wheel could deform and make steering harder. Dealers apply a software update and grease, or replace the gearbox. Two campaigns in 2026 concern the tire repair kit of hybrid and fuel cell versions; the second, 26V663000, redid the remedy of the first.
What about oil dilution?
Owners of 2017 to 2018 CR-Vs with the 1.5 liter turbo reported fuel mixing into the engine oil in cold climates. Honda answered with software updates and an extended warranty, not a safety recall, so it does not appear in the list. The Civic and Accord pages show the campaigns they share with the CR-V, and the Honda page shows the whole brand.
