Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the air bags in the vehicles, replacing the driver frontal air bag inflator with an inflator of a different design, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2020. Owners may contact American Honda's Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138.

1999 CR-V

April 5, 2003 it was about 9:00 pm. I had just paid my toll on the new jersey side of the river. I was traveling westbound on the ben franklin bridge towards philadelphia. I was traveling about 35 mph and was in the right-hand lane in order to take the exit off to the right to get onto south i-95. This exit ramp is at the bottom of the bridge on the pennsylvania side of the delaware river. As i was nearing the bottom of the bridge, my 1999 honda crv suddenly accelerated with such high rpms that it surged forward at an extremely rapid rate. It took off on its own so fast that not even the brakes would or could slow it down. I actively applied my brakes but to my horror, my brakes would not work and could not slow down the car. The car kept accelerating uncontrollably. I even pulled up on my emergency brake and tried to maneuver my car as i was traveling at a rapid pace through the traffic and could not stop my car until it crashed into another. This horrific accident totaled my car and resulted in the death of a woman in another car. My injuries kept me in the hospital for a week. A taxi driver had some injuries. He was treated and released. The honda crv was totalled and the car is being kept in storage, pending further investigation.*ak

2020 CR-V

The contact owns a 2020 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while his wife was attempting to park the vehicle at 1 MPH, the vehicle independently accelerated without warning. The vehicle jumped a curb and crashed into a tree which stopped the acceleration; the contact, who was in the passenger seat, was able to place the vehicle into neutral and shut off the engine. The contact stated that the airbags did not deploy upon impact. The police were called the scene and a police report was filed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle back home despite the severe front-end damage. The contact was also able to drive the vehicle to an independent body shop as several warning lights had appeared on the instrument panel which he linked to the accident. They remained in the possession of the body shop for repair. The contact and his wife sought medical treatment from a doctor where his wife was treated for a large lump on the back of her head and the contact was diagnosed for chest contusion after having a chest X-ray. The dealer was notified of the contact of the failure and was informed that they do not perform body repairs. The manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 11,500. Consumer stated the total repair cost of the car was $10,446.10.

2017 CR-V

"takata recall" 2017 honda crv was rear ended by another vehicle on 4/11/18. The seat belts did not retract. The passenger in the car struck her head on the dashboard of the vehicle. This crv has been in the repair shop since 4/17/18. Informed by the service provider that none of the seat belts retract properly.

2014 CR-V

My elderly mother died in a fire in her 2014 honda cr-v. There were no witnesses to the origin of the fire. The car was first seen when fully engulfed by flame, 10 to 20 minutes after my mother was seen getting into her car. Unknown if she let it idle before driving. She drove about 1200 feet. Her car was found in wet ivy at the side of the road. Her key was in her hand, and she was leaning towards the passenger side of the car, apparently trying to escape the fire. (because the car was on a hill, leaning towards the passenger side, flames from beneath the car were strongest on the driver side and would have blocked her exit. The passenger side was not completely burned.) it is improbable that the ivy ignited because it was late fall in the pacific northwest and the weather had been very wet for days. I believe that a fire ignited somewhere in the vehicle and this fire caused my mother to go off the road. An autopsy showed she died of smoke inhalation and burns. The car was in good condition with recent servicing. No signs of recent oil leakage in garage. We have located other 2012-2014 cr-v fires that began spontaneously. Some blamed on leaves trapped in vehicle, another on fluid leaks, including two on safercar.gov. (nhtsa nos. 10654938 and 10546273). I retain the vehicle. ## vin passed ## honda crv 2014 ##

2004 CR-V

Was driving down the highway about two months ago, i was shocked or bolted and something went through my body. It was like an electrical shock. Also, my door locks keep opening and closing while i am driving. Its happened a couple times and it has scared me. I don't know if that would have anything to with the shock i received in the vehicle, and something keeps going off in my car, it sounds like a timer. I took it to honda, they know nothing about the sound i hear and since its not a manufacture warranty, i did send in the warranty to the radio and i thought the radio and the locks are connected on my vehicle for security purposes. Been having medical problems, don't know if the shock could of contributed to it. I think i keep getting shocked every time i drive it. The number of failures would be a number i wouldn't know since it happens everyday. *nm

2002 CR-V

Honda crv allowed the key to be removed from the ignition when it hadn't been placed fully in park, it was in reverse. The car then rolled into the street and was hit by a car with 2 persons. This situation has been reproduced. Honda said there was a manufacturer defect on this part.

2024 CR-V

The contact owns a 2024 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that while driving uphill at 10 MPH, the "Brake Issue, contact dealer" "Brakes Needs Servicing," warning message illuminated. The vehicle independently accelerated and crashed into a tree. The air bags did not deploy. The contact injured their head on the steering wheel. The contact also received bruises to their neck and knees that required medical attention. A police report was filed. The vehicle was able to be driven the short distance home. The contact then stated that they later had the vehicle towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery had failed, however, they did not provide a diagnosis for the brake failure. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,024.

2023 CR-V

I was braking pulling forward into a parking place, going approximately 10 mph. The brakes did not work , the car accelerated jumped a curb ran over a parking sign and did not stop. I attempted to turn to the left on the island so as not to go into the busy street. I scraped/ran into a small tree while trying to put the car in park. I heard a large bang, 3 airbags deployed. I do not know if I ran over something, nothing was in my sight or view. Due to all of the smoke I quickly turned off the car and tried to get out. My left underside forearm had a 5”x3 1/2” bruise with swelling at the largest area and pain. The swelling is approximately 2 1/2” x2 1/2”. The mid to right side of my chest was injured extending to my right side with pain and bruising on and under my right breast. I went by ambulance to an ER. I am alarmed and traumatized. I have been experiencing lightheadedness since the accident. I have had headaches. The car took off as I was attempting to stop. I had NO control of the vehicle and could not bring it to a stop. There were no warning messages etc. If people were near or in front of me it would have been catastrophic, I had no control. There is a police report. My car is to be examined by the insurance company. My understanding is that it will be considered “totaled “. I reported the accident to Honda who I lease from. I was told that it could be “a software problem “. When the car malfunctioned I had just left my home , driving for the first time that day. My first stop was driving a couple of blocks to vote. I do not know how to upload pictures or the accident report. I have pictures of the car from the tow lot. After returning from the hospital I took pictures of the site to include the downed sign, damaged tree and broken car pieces in the driveway. I retrieved 2 large pieces of the car from the driveway.

2018 CR-V

I was having multiple electrical issues with the car, malfunctioning radio, flashing etc. I had it checked out at Mahwah Honda and they stated no issues. Last week I was in an accident in which my car was deemed totaled. As I was crossing the intersection a car sped through a red light traveling at a high speed hitting my passenger side. This caused the passenger air bags to deploy (I was traveling alone) and the impact caused me to hit another car across the roadway. The driver side air bags did not deploy even though I hit another car. I do not understand why my air bags did not go off and do not recall if the on star worked as well. I do not know if this is all related to the electrical issues I reported which Honda dismissed.

2018 CR-V

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 honda cr-v. While the vehicle was parked, the gear shifter failed to fully engage and the vehicle suddenly surged at a high rate of speed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the garage door, a wall, and into the steps near the mud room of the house. The driver was unable to slow down the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was not filed. The driver sustained injuries to the left side of the body, including the arms, hips, back, and minor bruising. Medical treatment was not received.

2002 CR-V

Good afternoon, my name is [xxx] and i am submitting a complaint regarding the honda crv (year 2002). On 6/25/2004, i was rear ended while waiting on a metered freeway entrance ramp in milwaukee, wi. The other driver did not know that the ramp was metered and rear ended my vehicle between 40 - 50 mph; my car was then pushed into the vehicle in front of me. Although it was a high speed collision on the front and rear, the airbag on my 2002 honda crv did not inflate. I hit my head on the steering wheel and had facial bruising and a large gash on my forehead requiring approximately 20 stitches. My car is totaled; the hood is crushed and the rear end was pushed in approximately 3 feet. I bought my crv new in 2002, partially on the assumption that it was a safe vehicle that would protect me in the event of a car accident. On friday, i called the dealership where my car is serviced (russ darrow honda in milwaukee, wi) to make certain that i had not missed any recalls, and they confirmed that my car was current with all recalls (there have been no airbag specific recalls for my year). If my airbag had inflated, i most likely would have walked away from the scene without any lasting reminders. Many consumers consider a vehicle safety rating and airbag quality when choosing a new vehicle. Since you cannot test airbags except in a lab environment or accident situation, consumers must rely on the trustworthiness of the manufacturer and hope that they work when required. I'd like to understand why my airbag did not inflate and i think it would be helpful for other consumers to also be aware of this situation... I see many other honda crvs on the road. I can be reached at [xxx] or via email at [xxx]. Thank you for your time. [xxx] [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr

We had to climb out of the passenger door,which was on the top now. The electrical system shorted (we smelled smoke) and we could not open the moon roof. Why didn't the curtain air bags inflate on the drivers side? This side of the car was laying on the ground. The drivers door was against the ground.

2014 CR-V

I own a 2014 Honda CR-V. Since around November 2022 I have repeatedly experienced an intermittent “bounce” or shudder when accelerating, especially around 20–25 mph and sometimes at higher speeds (around 45 mph and above). The vehicle feels like it briefly loses power or slips before catching again, and the check-engine light has come on and off during this period. I took the vehicle to Stockton Honda (CA) multiple times and consistently reported this bounce/shudder on take-off. Each time, the focus was on brakes, rotors, tires, or other maintenance items. I was never told there might be an engine or timing-chain issue or that the vehicle could be unsafe to drive. The bounce/shudder never went away. I have also been involved in multiple low-speed collisions while taking off from a stop in the past few years, and I am concerned that this hesitation/loss of power may have contributed. In late 2025, Honda of Elk Grove performed a full diagnostic, retrieved a P031 code, and told me the most likely cause is a timing-chain problem. I was advised that the vehicle is not recommended to be driven until the timing chain is replaced because the engine could be severely damaged or fail while driving. The technician refused to take the car on the freeway due to safety concerns. I am submitting this complaint so NHTSA is aware that a possible timing-chain defect or failure in 2014 Honda CR-V vehicles can present as a bounce/shudder at low speeds during acceleration, with potential loss of power and increased risk of rear-end collisions, and that this condition may be missed or misdiagnosed by dealers for an extended period.

2014 CR-V

2012 CR-V

Prior to accident, vehicle had no issues and was serviced routinely. There were 2 individuals in the car and accident took place on a two lane state road approximately 2 miles from residence. The weather was hot and sunny on the mid-afternoon of the accident. Driver noticed sputtering in the car and decided to u-turn to return to residence. As driver continued, sputtering worsened and somebody drove alongside and yelled that the vehicle appeared to be leaking gas. Very soon after, while car was driving at 5mph, the car had an explosion and flames came through the passenger window. Both driver and passenger were burned and medevac'd to local burn center. Passenger received severe 2nd and 3rd degree burns on upper half of body. Driver also received burns but not as severe. Each managed to exit vehicle before the being engulfed by flames. Vehicle is completely unrepairable and destroyed. Fire marshal report as further details on possible origins of the car fire.

SUDDEN ACCELERATION, while foot on the brake. This caused us to have an accident hitting cemented poles in front of a store. Our CRV was badly smashed in the front, making it undriveable.

2016 CR-V

I believe a sudden unintended acceleration issue caused an accident with my 2016 honda cr-v as i was driving to work on december 12, 2019. At that time, i had been driving for over 36 years both on maui and as an air force officer in the conus. In all that time, i had never driven recklessly or even sped as is evidenced by my driving record. That morning, my vehicle had reportedly been driving at a high rate of speed and ended up flipping over several times leading to my hospitalization and surgery for spinal fusion. Unfortunately, due to the resulting concussion, i can't remember anything from the morning of the incident until waking up in the icu after surgery, not even driving to work. Knowing that i would never purposely speed, i hired someone to download the black box data. To my shock, it showed constant acceleration, no steering inputs, and no braking inputs for at least five seconds. The only reason i've decided to put this out there now is due to the parallels i've read about with tiger woods' recent accident. I don't believe anyone who has driven for decades would ever mistake the accelerator for the brake pedal. Moreover, if they did, their instinct would be to quickly release the accelerator then brake, definitely not to continue to floor it for several seconds. I'm not expecting to get anything personally out of this complaint. My main hope is that investigation will be done to prevent further injuries and deaths. Please investigate to see if many other black box reports from similar accidents show accelerator floored with no braking or steering inputs for several seconds. Perhaps there is some combination of inputs causing wrong signals to be sent to the electronic control module. I believe the reason there aren't many more reports of this is due to the unfortunate fact that in most cases, the driver ends up either dead or having a concussion.

2023 CR-V

The vechicle was in an accident were it went off the road into grassy area. Hitting several street signs and a power transformer. The safety features automatic braking or lane keep assistance did not engage. The driver tried to brake the car did not stop nor did it seem to slow down by the distance it traveled. The car is possiblity a total loss, currently under review by insurance company. There were 2 passenger in the vechicle during the accident. Driver and toddler in the rear. Police did come out to the scene. Insurance representative are going through thier claim process.the accident was 2 days ago. All safety feature prior to the accident were opperating proper to my knowledge. I would like to request the black box from the accident to gather more information on what may have happened. Insuarance companies is not going to obtain it.

2022 CR-V

I had a medium sized doe run in front of the vehicle while on the highway. I had the adaptive cruise control set to 62 MPH with lane keeping assist and all other safety features enabled. When the deer ran out out in front of the vehicle the emergency breaking did not engage, nor did it flash the warning or make the chime. It caused major damage to the front center and drivers side of the vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. However, after the collision, the airbag light on the dash illuminated and stayed on. The airbag light has never came on before other than the illumination test when first starting the car. Also, the Hazzard lights did not com on automatically. The collision had enough impact to send the several hundred pound deer over 100' down the road. The only safety feature that partly worked was the retracting seat belts. I say partly worked because only the lap portion tightened. There was no tightening of the shoulder portion, which is now locked in place.

2019 CR-V

On June 17, 2022 I had front end collision. I was stopped at a traffic light and went to move up closer to the car in front of me. When I touched the accelerator my accelerated very quickly in and removed my foot from the pedal. The engine continued to rev even though my foot was on the break. I was not seriously injured. The car that I hit had 2 people in it and they looked ok at the scene. I think they are being evaluated for injuries. I am waiting to take it to Progressive Insurance Network collision center. But they don’t seem to be interested in anything but body work.

2018 CR-V

Driving at a speed of approximately 30-35 mph over a railroad track, the automatic emergency braking system was erroneously triggered. The vehicle came to an extremely abrupt stop in the middle of the railroad track. The vehicle behind us proceeded to rear-ended us. This is the second time the vehicle has stopped abruptly at a railroad track. The warning messages only appeared at the exact same moment the car stopped, not providing any warning as to what was about to happen. I'm awaiting an appointment for the car to be seen by the dealership for the AEB system, but because this caused a collision I filed a claim on my insurance and the car had to be repaired. This was a safety issue for multiple reasons, including that it caused injury for both the driver and the passenger. It also was a safety issue because it occurred on a railroad track and if the car had not been drivable, or if we had been incapacitated, we could have been killed by the train.

2025 CR-V

The vehicle experienced an unintended acceleration in which it unexpectedly increased speed without any input from the driver. At no point was the gas pedal depressed, yet the vehicle accelerated on its own. This sudden and uncommanded movement occurred without warning and was inconsistent with normal vehicle operation, leaving the driver with no intentional control over the acceleration. Following this incident, the manufacturer was contacted; however, despite ongoing attempts to communicate over the past six months, there has been no meaningful correspondence or demonstrated urgency from the manufacturer to investigate or resolve the issue.

2025 CR-V

On November 17, 2025 at 8:25am, the collision happened while I was parking my vehicle into the parking spot at my work place.

2025 CR-V

Unintended acceleration. On August 8, 2025, Honda C-RV Hybrid 2025 (sport touring) accelerated into a wall without the driver touching the gas pedal. The vehicle is deemed a constructive total loss by the insurance carrier. Since it can’t be driven, we are unable to reproduce the problem. A case is open with Honda since the date of the accident; however, there is no urgency to move the case forward.

2024 CR-V

There are a few safety issues I've experienced multiple times while driving this car. To the best of my knowledge, there haven't been any warning lamps or indicators on the dash related to these issues. When driving, the car will activate the emergency braking system, braking incredibly hard at freeways speeds and street driving speeds even though there is nothing near or close to the front of the car. The car has braked so intensely that items fly around the car and that both my son and I have experienced back, neck, and shoulder pain from the unexpected/severe braking. The other safety issue I've experienced is the lane departure/keeping sensors going off on the dash and the car pulls itself out of the lane. It seems like the car thinks I've departed the lane and is trying to pull me back into the lane, but, in reality, I am in the lane and the car is pulling itself into the next lane (sometimes even when another car is next to me or approaching). This is a safety concern since it causes swerving and my car could crash into another car or a lane divider if I didn't react so quickly to overpower the automatic lane departure. It's also a recurring issue to have to fight the car to keep it in the lane and makes for very tense driving. The last issue is an electrical one, I believe, related to the infotainment panel. The power on the infotainment system goes off unexpectedly while driving. It sometimes will not power on during start up. If it turns off while driving, sometimes I have to stop, turn off the car, and restart it to get it working again and other times it reboots itself after a minute or a few. All of these issues have happened countless times, as long as I've had the car. I've had it inspected and during the most recent inspection (Sept 2024) they asked me to come in to drive the car so that the issues would be reproduced while the mechanic was sitting in the passenger seat. I was able to reproduce the issues while the mechanic was in the car with me.

2025 CR-V

On 3/17/26, my husband and I started heading N on RT 83 to a medical appointment in our 2025 Honda CR-V Touring Sport. We were doing between 40 to 50 miles/hr. Twenty minutes later, we smelled faint smoke which was attributed to the trucks driving around us. Upon exit to our next route we immediately came to a red light and stopped and found heavy dark smoke coming from inside the front of our hood. We slowly moved to the R lane to get to a strip parking lot to move vehicle to a safe spot. When we finally found a safe parking a vehicle stopped to alert us of a noticeable fire at the bottom front of the Honda. We jumped out and 911 was called. By the time Police, followed by the Fire Dept, the front of my CR-V was engulfed by fire. I had just purchased this 2025 Touring Sport from Carmax 6 months earlier and it had just 7091 miles to it. My insurance and Honda were notified and claim and case #s were filed. Insurance offered a settlement but no word yet from Honda. Inspections were performed by both. Insurance inspectors report it as potential mechanical failure. Honda should offer reparations for the loss of my vehicle and placing our lives and those around us in danger.

I was pulling out of parking spot in reverse in a crowded movie theater parking lot when my 2011 honda cr-v accelerated at full speed into the cement pole behind me. Confused, i put the car in 'drive' to pull myself away from the pole, when the car once again accelerated at full speed forward toward the spot i was original in hitting and continually pushing a parked mini-van, which in turn pushed and kept pushing the parked car next to it. In an attempt to stop the car, i put the car in reverse and once again went in reverse, crashing into the same cement pole. Despite the fact that i bore down on the brakes repeatedly, the car did not stop until i put the car in 'park". Immediately thereafter, i turned the car off. This all occurred in seconds and was terrifying...i had no control of the vehicle. Witnesses in the movie theater parking lot were stopped in their tracks hearing the loud roar of the engine. *tr

2020 CR-V

My car, a 2020 Honda CR-V EX 1.5T AWD, was totaled in a fatal accident on a rainy night on an interstate highway. It spun on the highway a couple of turns, hit the highway barrier at all of its corners and sides, caused the airbags to all came out, and eventually deadly stopped in the middle of the highway on a rainy night. My wife and I were in our undrivable vehicle, watching countless coming vehicles approaching us rapidly. We were just waiting in the dead car unmovable, just as in a coffin for our fate to come but can do nothing. Thank GOD who made someone call 911. Thanks to the emergency rescue team. The ambulance sent us to a nearby local hospital. We bought the vehicle, the 2020 Honda CR-V EX 1.5T AWD, as new, and we realized there could be a problem at a very earlier time. It has a serious problem with its AWD control system. The rear wheels are always engaged in all road conditions, as it is displayed on the instrument panel. This causes the two symptoms of the car, (1) the MPG (miles-per-gallon) is extremely lower than the standard 34 MPG on the highway. It is only 23 to 25 MPG because it always consumes about 32 to 36 gallons of gasoline on a trip of 810 miles distance (85% on interstate highways). (2) the rear tires are worn out extremely fast. It wore 86% of the usage range at 22,000 miles usage, which is about 2 to 3 times quicker than tires on other cars on average. We visited the Honda dealer in Troy, Michigan for the tire problems on May 9, 2022, which is about five months before the severe accident. The Honda dealer refused to give any compensation for changing new tires. The car is just over 25,000 mileage (see [XXX] ). They changed only 2 new tires in the front and put the old front tires on the rear wheels. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

2016 CR-V

This safety issue was not revealed to me at purchase. Vehicle is a push button start and stop and does not have an electronic parking break. Vehicle can be turned off while in Drive, however the gear train does not remain engaged. INCIDENT: The car was moved by my husband who does not drive the car and is accustom to driving a keyed vehicle with ignition interlock. He is also hard of hearing and did not hear quite beeping. When he moved the vehicle driving the car to the inclined driveway, he turned car off using the push button without putting the car in PARK. The car remained motionless until he opened the door and got out. The car began to roll backwards where the door knocked him down and ran over his foot. My husband sustained minor injury. However the car continued to roll about 50 feet before colliding into a stand of trees before it was stopped. The car sustained significant rear end damage. This is a SAFETY issue. I called American Honda to report this issue. They claimed they knew nothing of the above stated design problem and suggested I take the vehicle into the dealership for a diagnostic. I did and Serra Honda of Brighton ran a diagnostic and reported :That the car can be turned off while in drive and that the car does not have any system that will prevent the car from moving if the car is not in Park. The car is operating as designed and will roll if not in park. My complaint #at American Honda is case #[XXX]. There are many reports on the internet concerning Honda CRV, Civic and Accord, for certain models and years that have this problem. There should be a recall to correct this obvious safety in design issue. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

2023 CR-V

On December 10th 2023 I was involved in an accident that I believe was caused by a defect in the vehicle. I was traveling at night with low visibility due to rain on an old country road with no street lights. I was rear ended while making a right turn and at the time did not think much about it as far as how it happened. I just assumed the driver that hit me was just not paying attention. While on side of the road I heard the driver tell his dad that it was not his fault that I just slammed on brakes in front of him. I was like whatever, you were just not paying attention. A few days later I got to thinking about it, I was using B mode in the transmission along with the paddle shifters to increase the regenerative braking capabilities. The regenerative braking is strong enough to slow the car down almost to a complete stop. While in this mode I only have to apply the brake pedal when I am very close to a turn. So to any driver behind me it would appear that I slammed on brakes right at my turn, even though they were applied the whole time I was slowing down using the regenerative braking of the car. The car is still drivable at least for a road test so I had someone follow me around to see if there were brake lights displayed during regenerative braking. After one short drive I found out the 2023 CRV Hybrid DOES NOT display brake lights during any use of regenerative braking. I tried B mode in the transmission, Sport mode, and the paddle shifters. At no point did the brake lights come on. To see if this was just an issue with my car I went to the local dealership on December 28th and test drove a 2024 CRV Hybrid and it also DID NOT display any brake lights. To see if it was a Honda issue in general or a model issue I test drove a 2024 Honda Accord Hybrid and IT DOES display brake lights in all forms of regenerative braking. This is an issue with 2023-2024 CRV Hybrid SUVs. I have filed a complaint with Honda as well.

2023 CR-V

I was pulling up to the Subway sandwich shop to pick up my lunch. I was approaching from their back ally (coming from Walgreens next door) so I could not have been going faster than a few miles per hour. As I approached the parking space the car started speeding up so I turned right to keep from going through the building and drove in circles to keep from hitting the buildings. I could not go onto the street because traffic was heavy. I kept pumping the brakes and the car did not stop until I hit a parked car and pushed that car into another car. All airbags deployed. My 16 year old grandson and I were injured, but no individuals were in the parked cars.

Can a Honda CR-V tow? Towing & payload

As an SUV, the Honda CR-V is built to tow and haul. The exact maximum towing capacity and payload depend on the engine, drivetrain and whether it has the factory tow package.

What sets your CR-V's tow & payload rating:

Engine — a larger or turbocharged engine tows more than the base unit.
Drivetrain & axle — 4WD/AWD and the axle ratio shift the rating.
Tow package — the factory towing package (hitch, wiring, transmission cooler) raises the max.
Payload & GVWR — GVWR caps the combined load; more passengers and cargo lower how much you can tow.

Exact towing capacity, payload and GVWR are added per engine, drivetrain and trim — decode your VIN above, or check the driver's door-jamb and hitch labels. Curb weight from vehicle specifications.

How much does a Honda CR-V cost to own?
