ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY:CABLES

The defect
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2020-2022 CR-V Hybrid vehicles. The 12-Volt battery cable routed outside of the body frame is missing a fuse on the power circuit, which can allow the battery cable to short circuit or overheat during a crash.
What it can cause
An overheated battery cable or short circuit can increase the risk of a fire or injury in a crash.
What the dealer does
Dealers will replace the battery cable, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 29, 2024. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is FGB.
NHTSA's note
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.

Which vehicles

A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares

At 106,030 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 92% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.

Honda vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 38 times before this, most recently in March 2023 as 23V195000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.

This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 250 complaints with NHTSA, 78 of them before this campaign was filed. 58 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2020, 3 years before this filing.

The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V332000 (air bags), 24V064000 (air bags), 23V858000 (fuel system, gasoline), 21V939000 (power train).

Check your own car

A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.

Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on December 13, 2023 as campaign 23V844000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
