Known problems with the 2024 Honda CR-V

4 of the 4 issues we track for the 2023–2025 generation are documented against the 2024 model year, and 2 carry a recall or service bulletin.

• 'Sticky' steering, steering gearbox recall

  majorNHTSA 24V-744 (Honda sticky-steering recall); earlier Honda TSB replaced complete gearboxes

  Owners reported the steering momentarily sticking or catching around center, needing extra effort to initiate a turn, worst at highway speed. NHTSA opened an investigation, Honda first issued a gearbox-replacement TSB, then recalled ~1.7 million vehicles (2023–2025 CR-V among them, NHTSA 24V-744): an improperly made worm wheel plus an over-preloaded worm-gear spring raises internal friction. The recall remedy is a new worm gear spring and grease redistribution, free at any Honda dealer; gearboxes built after Aug 30, 2024 have the fix. If your car still sticks after the recall work, push for a gearbox replacement under warranty.

  Typical cost: Free under recall

• Hybrid high-pressure fuel pump cracks, fuel leak recall

  majorNHTSA 24V-763

  On hybrid models, the engine-mounted high-pressure fuel pump's solenoid core can crack from improper manufacturing, letting fuel leak into the engine bay, a fire risk with a gasoline smell as the warning sign. Part of Honda's ~720,000-vehicle October 2024 recall (2023–2025 CR-V Hybrid, plus Accord and Civic hybrids), NHTSA 24V-763. Dealers inspect and replace the fuel pump free. If you smell gas, park it outside and get it in immediately.

  Typical cost: Free under recall

• 12V battery drain / dead after short parking periods

  moderate

  A steady stream of 6th-gen owner reports (gas and hybrid) describe dead 12V batteries after the car sits days, modules not sleeping, telematics/HondaLink activity, and marginal factory batteries all implicated. Honda has released software updates for several control units; dealers test and replace weak batteries under the 3-yr/36k warranty. Out of warranty: update software, load-test, and replace with a quality battery of the correct group (47/H5 gas, 51R hybrid).

  Typical cost: Free under warranty; $150–$250 battery afterward

• Steering wheel vibration / shimmy complaints at highway speed

  minor

  Separate from sticky steering: some owners report persistent 60–75 mph steering-wheel shimmy that survives road-force balancing and new tires. Reported fixes include wheel/tire replacement under goodwill and alignment; NHTSA complaint volume exists but no defect finding. Rule out the ordinary causes (balance, road-force, bent wheel) before chasing it as a defect.

  Typical cost: $50–$200 (balance/road-force); varies beyond that
