Best and Worst Honda CR-V Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 13 Honda CR-V model years from 2010 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 481 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2022 — 338 complaints, 6 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2013 — 382 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2016 — 393 complaints, 3 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2018 — 2,153 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2017 — 1,773 complaints, 7 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2019 — 1,102 complaints, 8 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
