What changed for the 2022 Honda CR-V

  • 2022Carryover final year; Special Edition (SE) trim on 17-in wheels

Known problems with the 2022 Honda CR-V

2 of the 5 issues we track for the 2017–2022 generation are documented against the 2022 model year, and 2 carry a recall or service bulletin.

  • Parasitic battery drain / repeated dead batteries (class action)

    moderateNo recall; class action Sarkisian et al. v. American Honda (2021); multiple software TSBs

    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.

    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

    moderateHonda TSB A23-040 (warranty extension)

    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.

    Typical cost: Free under the warranty extension; $1,100–$1,600 if paid out of pocket

3 more issues reported in other 2017–2022 years
  • 1.5T oil dilution, gasoline mixing into the engine oil (THE known CR-V issue) — 2017–2018 (formally); similar complaints reported on 2019–2021 in cold climates
  • Denso low-pressure fuel pump failure (recall) — 2018–2020
  • Infotainment freezes, backup-camera dropouts, and phantom warnings — 2017–2020

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.
