Tail Light Assembly for the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V

What 2017–2022 CR-V owners report about the exterior lighting

Owners have filed 9 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the tail or brake lights on the 2017–2022 Honda CR-V, and 55 filed under its exterior lighting. Those 9, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2017 CR-V: 1 complaint
• 2018 CR-V: 3 complaints
• 2019 CR-V: 2 complaints
• 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 2019 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11718130: "Started with a flicker taillight. Then dash board lights came on and off. Then car wouldn’t turn on. Took vehicle to dealership. They stated it was a faulty body control module that needed to be replaced"

A 2020 CR-V owner, NHTSA complaint 11499803: "When I first purchased the vehicle (brand new in 2020), the condensation in the tail lights occurred but the Honda dealer replaced it since it was under warranty. It’s still happening and it’s even more severe now risking the brake and turn lights burning out."

Recalls that cover the tail light 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 tail light. 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 tail light a 2017–2022 CR-V takes

Tail lights differ between bulb and LED trims, by body style, and by side. 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.
