## What changed for the 2019 Honda CR-V

| --- | --- |
| 2019 | Largely unchanged; adds the Platinum White Pearl exterior color as the only notable update ahead of 2020's facelift and hybrid launch |

## Known problems with the 2019 Honda CR-V

5 of the 5 issues we track for the 2017-2022 generation are documented against the 2019 model year.

### 1.5T oil dilution, gasoline mixing into the engine oil (THE known CR-V issue) (major)

In cold climates and on short trips, unburned fuel washes past the rings of the 1.5L turbo and accumulates in the crankcase: the oil level RISES above the fill mark, the dipstick smells of gasoline, and owners reported poor cabin heat, misfires (P0300-series), and fouled plugs. Honda's fix is product update TSB 18-114 (revised ECU warm-up logic, transmission software, and in some cases an A/C control unit update, plus an oil change) and a warranty extension on the engine to 6 years with UNLIMITED mileage (originally for ~239,000 cars in 21 cold-weather states, later applied more broadly by goodwill; a class-action settlement followed). 2019+ got the updated software from the factory. If your level reads high: get the update done free, change the oil, and document everything for the extended warranty. Some fuel smell and slight level rise can persist even after the update.

Honda TSB 18-114 (product update); 6-yr/unlimited-mile engine warranty extension; no NHTSA recall was issued. Typical cost: Free (TSB software + oil change; engine repairs covered under the 6-yr/unlimited-mi extension).

### Parasitic battery drain / repeated dead batteries (class action) (moderate)

Thousands of 5th-gen owners reported batteries dying overnight or after a few days parked, blamed on parasitic draw from modules (VSA, fuel pump control, infotainment) that fail to sleep, compounded by the small 410 CCA factory 51R. A class action (filed 2021) covers 2017-2019 CR-V (and 2016-2019 Accord). Honda issued software updates for several modules and dealers replaced batteries under warranty; out of warranty, the practical fix is the updated software plus a 500 CCA battery, and a parasitic-draw test if it recurs.

No recall; class action Sarkisian et al. v. American Honda (2021); multiple software TSBs. Typical cost: $130-$220 (battery); $150-$200 diagnostic if a draw must be traced.

### A/C compressor shaft seal leak, warranty extended to 10 years (moderate)

The A/C gradually blows warm because refrigerant escapes past a leaking compressor shaft seal; UV dye shows the leak at the compressor nose. Honda acknowledged the defect with TSB A23-040 and extended the compressor shaft seal warranty on 2017-2022 CR-Vs to 10 years from original purchase with no mileage limit, dealers replace the compressor assembly free. If you paid out of pocket, Honda offered reimbursement through the extension.

Honda TSB A23-040 (warranty extension). Typical cost: Free under the warranty extension; $1,100-$1,600 if paid out of pocket.

### Denso low-pressure fuel pump failure (recall) (major)

Part of the industry-wide Denso recall: the in-tank fuel pump impeller can swell and seize, causing hard starts, stumble, or engine stall at speed. Honda recalled 2018-2020 CR-Vs (NHTSA 20V-314, expanded in 2021) and replaces the pump assembly free. Run your VIN. Many cars were added in the expansion and some remain unfixed.

NHTSA 20V-314 (Honda), expanded May 2021 (21V-215). Typical cost: Free under recall.

### Infotainment freezes, backup-camera dropouts, and phantom warnings (minor)

The 7-inch head unit freezes, reboots, or loses the rearview camera image intermittently; low 12V voltage (see battery drain above) also triggers cascades of spurious warning lights (VSA, TPMS, collision mitigation) at start-up. Software updates fixed most infotainment complaints; a healthy battery clears most phantom-warning cascades. Persistent camera loss can be the camera harness in the tailgate flex point.

Typical cost: Free (software) - $150-$400 (camera or harness repair).

## About the Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is one of America's best-selling compact SUVs, and the 2012-2025 span covers three generations with very different powertrains under a familiar shape. 4L (K24W9) and a CVT for 2015-2016, a change that brought better mpg along with widely reported idle-vibration complaints, and the K24's classic cold-start VTC actuator rattle. 0L two-motor hybrid arrived for 2020.

0L hybrid roughly half of sales; its headline issues are the 'sticky steering' recall (24V-744) and a hybrid fuel pump recall (24V-763). 3 bolt pattern with 80 ft-lb lug torque, CR2032 smart-key batteries, and Honda's Maintenance Minder deciding service timing instead of a fixed mileage chart. CVT models take Honda HCF-2 fluid only. Do not substitute regular ATF or generic 'multi-vehicle' CVT fluid.
