2021 HONDA CR-V — Complaint #2154529
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: SENSING SYSTEM: OTHER filed December 5, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2154529 (ODI reference 11703264) concerns a 2021 HONDA CR-V and was filed on December 5, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 14, 2025. The vehicle had 56,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to New York based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as forward collision avoidance: sensing system: other, 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: yes, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. 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 forward collision avoidance: sensing system: other 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 2021 HONDA CR-V shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
