2018 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #2130490
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM filed September 15, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2130490 (ODI reference 11687382) concerns a 2018 HONDA CR-V and was filed on September 15, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 1, 2021. The report was geocoded to Pennsylvania based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system, 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 electrical system 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 2018 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

When they got done, I went to pick up the car, and they told me it was the aftermarket windshield, but it was the one I bought with the car. I called Honda, they made Motor World take it in, and then called me and told me that they have the information and would share it with the appropriate parties.
