HONDA CR-Z Recalls

The Honda CR-Z has 3 recalls, with the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator defect on 2011-2013 and 2015 models where the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death to the driver. The 2011 model year with a manual transmission is subject to two separate powertrain recalls. In one, the engine control unit can activate stall-prevention software under certain conditions, including extreme temperatures or high electrical loads, which inadvertently commands the hybrid electric motor to apply torque. In the other, unexpected vehicle movement can occur and raise the risk of a crash or injury to anyone in the vehicle's path. Both issues are limited to 2011 manual-transmission examples.
