Component: Electrical system (wiring, interior/under dash)

CR-V model years: 1998–1999 · about 100,891 vehicles in the whole campaign

The problem: VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES. AN IMPROPERLY ROUTED UNDER DASH WIRE HARNESS COULD BE DAMAGED BY CONTACT WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A BLOWN FUSE. IF THIS OCCURS, OPERATION OF A CRITICAL COMPONENT CAN BE LOST, INCLUDING WINDSHIELD WIPERS, HEADLIGHTS, TURN SIGNAL AND HAZARD LAMPS, TAIL LAMPS, THE ANTI-LOCKING FUNCTION OF THE BRAKES, AND BATTERY CHARGING SYSTEM.

The risk: A SUDDEN, UNEXPECTED LOSS OF LIGHTING OR A FAILURE OF THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS IN BAD WEATHER, COULD BE HAZARDOUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

The fix: DEALERS WILL INSTALL A 70MM PROTECTIVE, CORRUGATED PLASTIC TUBE OVER THE WIRE HARNESS, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE STOP SWITCH. IF ANY WIRE OR WIRES ARE DAMAGED, THEY WILL BE REPAIRED.

How to check if your CR-V has an open recall

  1. Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, or your registration.
  2. Enter it in the free VIN recall check. It queries NHTSA for your exact vehicle, not just the model.
  3. If a recall is open, call any Honda dealer's service department to book the free repair. Bring the recall number from the list above.
  4. Buying used? Ask the seller for the dealer's recall-completion printout before you pay.

Recalls are only part of the picture. Owner complaints show which years have the most problems: Honda CR-V years to avoid.

Frequently asked questions

How many recalls does the Honda CR-V have?

65 NHTSA safety recall campaigns cover the Honda CR-V across model years 1997–2025. A single campaign often spans several model years, so the per-year counts in the table add up to more than 65. The 2002 model year has the most, with 16.

What is the latest Honda CR-V recall?

26V332000, filed with NHTSA on May 21, 2026: air bags (sensor, occupant classification, front passenger), covering 2017–2022 CR-V models. The fix is free at Honda dealers.

What is the biggest Honda CR-V recall?

By vehicles covered, 15V320000 (May 28, 2015), a air bags campaign covering about 6,281,043 vehicles in total. That count is for the whole campaign, which can include other models besides the CR-V.

How do I check if my Honda CR-V has an open recall?

Run your 17-character VIN through a VIN recall check. A model-level list can't tell you whether your car was built in the affected range or has already been repaired. Any Honda dealer can also look up the VIN and do the repair.

Are Honda recall repairs free?

Yes. Safety-recall repairs are done free at franchised Honda dealers, whether or not the warranty has expired and wherever you bought the car. Manufacturers must offer a free remedy for vehicles up to 15 years old at the time the recall is filed, and many still repair older ones.
