Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation, public domain. Complaint counts reflect what owners reported and are not a measure of failure rate per vehicle sold.
What this can and cannot tell you: these are complaints owners chose to file, not a failure rate. Popular models accumulate more of them simply by being common. How this is built.
Owners filed 8,374 complaints with NHTSA about the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V, and 3,256 of them record the mileage at which the failure happened. That is enough to show not just what fails, but when.
46% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 19 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. Failures clustered that early usually indicate a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear.
The most-reported areas are forward collision avoidance (16.8% of complaints, typically around 36,000 miles), the engine (14.7% of complaints, typically around 10,000 miles), the electrical system (11.0% of complaints, typically around 15,000 miles).
15 recall campaigns cover this generation.
If you arrived asking “is it reliable?” — this page answers the version of that question the data can support: which problems owners reported, and at what mileage.
How many miles does a 2017–2022 Honda CR-V last?
Half of the failure reports on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V were filed by 15,000 miles and 90% by 64,000 miles — figures drawn from 3,256 NHTSA complaints that record an odometer reading, so they time reported failures, not the cars whose owners never filed one.
7 reports (0.2%) came in past 200,000 miles — each one proof a CR-V reached that mileage, not that it died there.
Before you buy a 2017–2022 CR-V: the 3-minute check
Generated from 3,256 mileage-tagged complaints, 15 recall campaigns, 3 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 15 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for engine repair records. This area fails at a median of 10,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Ask for fuel and propulsion system repair records. This area fails at a median of 7,000 miles — on any car this age it already happened or never will; the question is whether it was fixed under warranty.
- Check engine on 2017–2018, complaints continue into 2019 cars. 1.5L turbo oil dilution: incomplete combustion in cold weather and on short trips lets gasoline seep past the rings into the crankcase, raising the dipstick level, thinning the oil, producing a fuel smell and in some…
- Check hvac on 2017–2019 cars. A/C condenser leaks, frequently at the seam, causing loss of cooling; a high-volume complaint on early model years.
- Check engine on 2017–2018 cars. Hard starting and stalling reported on early 1.5T cars, related to the same fuel-in-oil mechanism.
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, an early-failure pattern is comparatively good news on a used example: 46% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, which on a car of this age means they have already happened or they were never going to. Service history matters more than mileage here.
On inspection, forward collision avoidance and the engine are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The engine in particular shows a median failure mileage of 10,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

Which systems, and when
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 15,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 16.8% of complaints (1,404 reports, 178 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 36,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 19,000 and 52,000 miles.
The engine accounts for 14.7% of complaints (1,235 reports, 761 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 10,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,000 and 22,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 11.0% of complaints (923 reports, 435 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 15,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,500 and 34,000 miles.
The fuel and propulsion system accounts for 10.8% of complaints (905 reports, 347 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 7,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,000 and 17,000 miles.
The steering accounts for 10.0% of complaints (839 reports, 160 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 42,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 23,000 and 68,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 7.8% of complaints (653 reports, 282 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 10,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 3,000 and 23,000 miles.
Differences between model years
Within this generation, complaint volume is not constant across model years. The 2018 model year drew the most — 2,982 complaints — while 2022 drew the fewest at 312. The median year sits at 995.
That makes 2018 an outlier: roughly 3.0 times the median year of this generation. A single year standing that far apart usually reflects either a first-year issue that was later corrected, or a component change introduced for that year. Anyone shopping this generation has a straightforward reason to prefer a different year, all else being equal.
Recalls and what they cover
NHTSA records 15 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the fuel system (5), the airbag system (3), equipment (3). Repeated recalls against the same area of the car generally mean the first remedy did not fully resolve the underlying problem.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.
Reported severity
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 8,374 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 260 (3.1%)
- Fires
- 12
- Injury reports
- 193
- Fatality reports
- 1
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Documented problems
Engine 2017–2018, complaints continue into 2019
1.5L turbo oil dilution: incomplete combustion in cold weather and on short trips lets gasoline seep past the rings into the crankcase, raising the dipstick level, thinning the oil, producing a fuel smell and in some cases hesitation or stalling. Honda ran a product update in October 2018 for five cold-weather states, expanded to 21 states in December 2018, revising engine control and HVAC software, and extended the powertrain warranty to six years with no mileage limit on 2017-2018 1.5T cars.
Hvac 2017–2019
A/C condenser leaks, frequently at the seam, causing loss of cooling; a high-volume complaint on early model years.
Engine 2017–2018
Hard starting and stalling reported on early 1.5T cars, related to the same fuel-in-oil mechanism.
