3.4% of complaints about the 2001 Honda CR-V came in the first year, which is unremarkable for a 2001 vehicle — around the middle of the 216 model-years on record. The median complaint arrives at 11.1 yr in service. The most-reported system is air bags (51 complaints), typically at 19.5 yr or about 146,000 miles.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2001-2002 Acura 3.2CL, 2000-2003 Acura 3.5RL, 2000-2001 Acura 3.2TL, Honda CR-V and Honda Odyssey, 2001-2002 Acura MDX and 2000 Accord Coupe, Accord Sedan, Civic Coupe, and Civic Sedan vehicles. These vehicles may have received a replacement driver frontal air bag module as part of a vehicle repair. Due to a manufacturing issue, the replacement NADI inflator may absorb moisture, causing the inflator to rupture or the air bag cushion to underinflate.
In the event of a crash necessitating air bag deployment, an inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants. An underinflated air bag cushion may not properly protect the occupant. These scenarios increase the risk of serious injury or death.
I'VE HAD TWO VALVE JOBS DONE ON MY 2001 CRV, ONCE AT AROUND 45,000 MILES AND THAN AGAIN AT 95,000 BOTH TIMES IT WAS THE NUMBER 3 VALVE THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE OWNER'S MANUAL I HAVE INDICATES THAT THE VALVES NEED TO BE ADJUSTED AT 105,000 MILES BUT ACCORDING TO THE DEALER WHERE I HAD THE WORK DONE IT NEEDS TO BE DONE EVERY 15,000 MILES. I FIND THAT THIS TYPE OF MAINTENANCE ON A NON-PERFORMANCE CAR RIDICULOUS NOT TO MENTION EXPENSIVE AND TIME CONSUMING. *AK

I WAS INVOLVED IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT IN NOV. OF 2005 AND I WAS DRIVING A HONDA CRV 2001. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY DURING THE ACCIDENT OR AFTER. THE VEHICLE ROLLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE WAS OVER 100 FEET OF DEBRIS. WHY DIDN'T THE AIR BAGS DEPLOY? THE CRV WAS A TOTAL LOSS. *JB
