2001 Honda CR-V — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 159 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Air bags (restraint system)52 (32.7%)Official recall records for this system: 76, covering model years 1997–2022.
• Engine30 (18.9%)Official recall records for this system: 4, covering model years 2015–2016.
• Tires & wheels9 (5.7%)Official recall records for this system: 1, covering model years 2024.
• Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)9 (5.7%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2002–2006.
• Equipment & accessories8 (5.0%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 2006–2022.
• Electrical system7 (4.4%)Official recall records for this system: 13, covering model years 1997–2019.

Other / uncategorized: 5 classifications (3.1%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (31,730 records, model years 1997–2026) are most frequently classified under: engine, electrical system and air bags (restraint system).
• Safety recalls (261 records, model years 1997–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and equipment & accessories.
• Transport Canada recalls (160 records, model years 1997–2025) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), fuel system and seat belts.
• Manufacturer communications (4,958 records, model years 1997–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and air bags (restraint system).
• Investigations (77 records, model years 2002–2024) are most frequently classified under: air bags (restraint system), electrical system and powertrain (transmission & drivetrain).

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records

Mileage reported when the issue occurred

• 84reports included a mileage
• 94,329average of those mileages

This is the mileage owners recorded at the time they reported, not an expected failure mileage and not a prediction for any individual vehicle. The lowest and highest figures on record are not shown: they are unverified odometer entries that include zeros and implausibly high readings, so they would not describe a real range. A median is not shown either, because the stored figures are group totals and a median cannot be recovered from them.
