- 134 vehicles are affected in the United States
- For Free: Fuel tanks will be replaced
- No reports of related fires or injuries
American Honda will voluntarily recall 134 model-year 2019 Honda CR-V vehicles in the United States to replace their fuel tanks, for free. An improper weld attaching a vapor return hose on the top of the fuel tank could result in a vapor or liquid fuel leak. Fuel leakage in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, and evaporative emissions regulations prohibit fuel vapor leaks. Honda has received no reports of fires or injuries related to this issue.
Honda encourages each owner of an affected vehicle to schedule a repair appointment with an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to owners will begin in late-Sept. 2019. Owners of these models can also determine if their specific vehicles are included in the recall by visiting www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
