Honda HR-V recalls by year & common problems

NHTSA safety recalls and owner-reported complaints for every Honda HR-V model year from 2016 to 2025. Real, government-sourced figures — use them to gauge how common a problem actually is before you spend on parts.

NHTSA's data does not show a U.S.-market Honda HR-V for 2010–2015, so those model years are left out rather than shown as zero.
