Seats:front assembly:recliner

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023 CR-V vehicles. The front passenger seat back frame may not have been welded properly, which can cause the seat back position to fail in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 207, "Seating Systems" and 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."

A seat back position that fails may not adequately restrain the occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

In owners’ own words

Within two hours of picking new CRV up, Auto Stop Idle Problem - see your Dealer" message popped up. Two weeks later, 12 error messages popped up on dash. Took vehicle in 5 times for repairs after error messages popped up after each repair. Front grill, battery sensor, battery and entire harness were replaced. I don't feel confident I can trust the safety of this vehicle. In addition, this vehicle does not have blind spot warning.

The contact owns a 2023 Honda CR-V. The contact stated that the horn failed to operate as needed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, and the dealer made aware of the failure, and the contact was referred to the manufacturer for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 13.
Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
The reverse camera works poorly and is not clearly especially if it’s wet outside. Water smears on the camera more easily than other cars I have owned even if it’s not actively raining. My 2013 g37 and 2017 Mercedes glc300 never had visibility issues for the camera and the Infiniti is 11 years older. Honda states it’s normal. I think it’s a bad design that allows camera lens to hold water on it. It’s a potential danger when reversing during rain or if car is wet.
