FYI - Honda issued a "Product Update" (Recall?) for 2016-2020 HRV's with CVT.
1. The software does not "properly monitor internal fluid pressure and detect early CVT belt failure. This can possible cause the vehicle not to move when accelerating". Honda will update the CVT software.
2. "Due to the possibility of early deterioration of the CVT belt", warranty on the CVT is extended to 7years/150,000 miles.
Strangely, the notice uses terms like "MIL" and "DTC P721E". Do the eggheads who wrote it not realize over 90% of owners will not know what those terms mean?
90% of owners will never even look up recalls
Or even care, unless there’s a fire or loss of life risk..
Yes. The lack of interest spills both ways.
Thank you for the heads up!
Hello, are you referring to this TSB https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10205453-0003.pdf.
I am also looking at purchasing a 2017 Honda HRV with 56,000 miles. Thanks for confirming this.
