- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2025 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV vehicles. Coolant inside the fuel cell stack may leak into the fuel cell stack case, causing an internal short circuit. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 305, "Electric-powered vehicles: Electrolyte Spillage and Electrical Shock Protection."
- What it can cause
- An internal short circuit in a fuel cell can cause a loss of drive power, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the fuel cell stack assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 3 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is CN4. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning December 16, 2025.
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 388 vehicles this is a small campaign: 52% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2025, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2025, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 42 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V785000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 26V366000 (tires), 24V744000 (steering).
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 11, 2025 as campaign 25V858000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
