Radiator Cooling Pack — Radiator, Fan and Thermostat for the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V

What 2017–2022 CR-V owners report about the engine and engine cooling

Owners have filed 54 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the radiator, coolant leaks or overheating on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V, and 33 filed under its engine and engine cooling. Those 54, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2017 CR-V: 19 complaints
• 2018 CR-V: 20 complaints
• 2019 CR-V: 7 complaints
• 2020 CR-V: 5 complaints
• 2021 CR-V: 3 complaints
• 2022 CR-V: none

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

A 2018 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11763555: "5L turbo engine experienced an overheating condition while being driven. The temperature gauge fluctuated and reached the red zone, creating a potential risk of engine failure and loss of vehicle operation."

A 2020 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11751166: "Faulty head gasket. Car is 2020 honda crv with 113,000 miles on it. Brought it honda because the dashboard lit up and all lights came on. Honda inspected it and stated it was coolant leaking into cylinder 2 and my car has shown no issues if this happening."

Recalls that cover the radiator cooling pack 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 radiator cooling pack. 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 radiator cooling pack a 2017–2022 CR-V takes

Radiators differ by engine, by transmission, since an automatic's cooler often runs through the radiator, and by towing package. 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.
