Does a recall affect your Honda CR-V?

Not every Honda CR-V is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Honda CR-V recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2002 to 2026

2015 had the most, with 4. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

22-25M Civic and Other Models EPS Gear Box Worm Wheel Swelling Failure 6JP

Launched 31 March 2025 DVSA recall R/2025/024 Manufacturer ref. 6JP

Defect
On affected vehicles ​due to decrease of the grease amount in the worm wheel gear meshing area of the EPS gear box during use the sliding resistance at the meshing area increases and the torque fluctuation when turning the steering becomes larger resulting in an abnormal noise or a dangerous sticking occurs when turning the steering.​
Remedy
For the Honda Civic (FL4 FE1) CR-V and ZR-V models replace the worm gear pre-load spring with a countermeasure part and add grease. For the Honda Civic Type R (FL5) model replace the Steering Gearbox with a countermeasure part.

Unintended braking may occur

Launched 10 July 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/102 Manufacturer ref. HUK5UV

Defect

  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Honda CR-V. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
