2012 HONDA CR-V Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2012 Honda CR-V has 4 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death. A separate safety concern involves the brake-shift interlock, which can fail to work properly in cold temperatures, allowing the gear selector to be moved out of Park without pressing the brake pedal and causing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. On the door side, operating the door lock while pulling the interior handle at the same time can knock the latch cable out of position, leaving the door unable to latch or causing it to swing open after locking. One recall affects only LX trim vehicles built during a two-day window in August 2012, where an incorrect certification label lists wrong weight ratings and tire specifications, which can lead to improper loading and raise the risk of a tire failure.
