2020 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #1875312
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS: REAR/OTHER:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY filed February 22, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1875312 (ODI reference 11508550) concerns a 2020 HONDA CR-V and was filed on February 22, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 22, 2022. The vehicle had 8,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Nevada based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts: rear/other:buckle assembly, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA CR-V cohort independently describe similar seat belts: rear/other:buckle assembly failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
