CV Axle Assembly for the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V

What 2017–2022 CR-V owners report about the power train

Owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention a CV joint or drive axle on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V, and 269 filed under its power train. Those 9, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2017 CR-V: none
• 2018 CR-V: 5 complaints
• 2019 CR-V: 1 complaint
• 2020 CR-V: 1 complaint
• 2021 CR-V: none
• 2022 CR-V: 2 complaints

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

A 2020 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11621585: "This vehicle has 33k miles on it and both front axels make noise when the vehicle has been driven for about 20 minutes and one starts to make turns. Honda says it needs new axels but does not know why they have failed. Honda says the CV boots are intact."

A 2022 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11480060: "The contact owns a 2022 Honda CR-V. The contact stated while his wife was reversing, she heard a loud noise and notice that all 4 driveshaft bolts had detached from the vehicle. The contact was able to drive the vehicle home safely."

Recalls that cover the CV axle 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 CV axle. 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 CV axle a 2017–2022 CR-V takes

Axles differ by transmission, by drivetrain, and between the left and right side, which are rarely the same length. 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.
