2022 HONDA CR-V Recalls Canada & USA – Major League Recalls
2022 HONDA CR-V Recalls — Canada & USA
Summary
The 2022 Honda CR-V has 4 recalls, the most serious affecting hybrid models: a 12-volt battery cable routed outside the frame lacks a fuse, which can allow it to overheat or short circuit in a crash and raise the risk of fire.
Two recalls involve occupant safety. The second-row center seatbelt's automatic locking retractor can deactivate when it should not, leaving a child safety seat unsecured during a crash. On the steering side, a sensor in the electric power steering system can fail and cause a sudden increase in steering effort, making the wheel harder to turn without warning. There is also a compliance recall: the certification label on the driver's door lists incorrect weight ratings and tire size information, and fitting the wrong tire size can lead to premature tread wear or a blowout.
