5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Steering and forward collision avoidance generate the most complaints on the 2025 CR-V. On the steering side, owners frequently describe unexpected acceleration or unintended vehicle movement in low-speed situations, along with driver's side mirror distortion and vibration that becomes more noticeable at highway speeds, particularly at night, a problem dealers have had difficulty reproducing. The forward collision avoidance system draws complaints about false activations and interventions owners describe as unwarranted, including unexpected braking. Visibility complaints center on wiper performance and the same mirror distortion issues. A recurring TPMS concern also appears across multiple reports, with owners describing the warning light triggering repeatedly despite tire pressures checking out normal, and the alert returning within miles of being reset.

By System
The 2025 Honda CR-V has 4 recalls, the most serious involving two separate fuel leak risks on hybrid models that can lead to a fire if fuel contacts an ignition source.
Both fuel concerns affect CR-V Hybrid vehicles: the high-pressure fuel pump can crack and leak, and a fuel feed hose may have been improperly installed, also allowing fuel to escape. On the steering side, a defect can cause difficulty steering and raise the risk of a crash, a concern shared across a broad range of Honda and Acura models from this era. There is also a tire repair kit issue on hybrid models where pressure can build inside the sealant bottle and eject the cap, turning it into a projectile that can strike anyone nearby.
