What 2017–2022 CR-V owners report about the A/C compressors

Owners have filed 32 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the A/C compressor on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V. Those 32, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2019 CR-V: 2 complaints
• 2020 CR-V: 1 complaint

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

Recalls that cover the A/C compressor on the 2017–2022 CR-V

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V whose defect is in the A/C compressor. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which A/C compressor a 2017–2022 CR-V takes

Compressors differ by engine and by clutch type, and hybrids use an electric compressor that shares nothing with the belt-driven one. The 2017–2022 Honda CR-V came with several powertrains, among them 1.5L I4 CVT AWD and 2.4L I4 CVT FWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
