Honda CR-V Hybrids Recalled for Fire Risk
A wiring issue could cause a short circuit or fire after a crash
Honda is recalling over 106,000 CR-V Hybrid SUVs from the 2020 through 2022 model years because a missing fuse could cause a cable to overheat or short-circuit in a crash.
Honda CR-V Hybrid Recall Details
Vehicles recalled: Honda CR-V Hybrid SUVs manufactured between Aug. 8, 2019, and June 9, 2022.
The problem: A 12-volt battery cable lacks a fuse, which could lead to a short circuit, an overheated battery cable, or a fire if the car is involved in a crash to the left front fender area.
The fix: Honda dealerships will replace the battery cable with a new version that contains a 100-amp fuse.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may contact Honda at 888-234-2138.
NHTSA campaign number: 23V844. Honda’s own code for this recall is FGB.
Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.
If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
