VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING WESTBOUND ON I-90 IN MASSACHUSETTS IN THE TRAVEL LANE AT BETWEEN 65-68 MPH. THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS NOT ENGAGED; THE LANE KEEPING ASSIST FEATURE WAS NOT ACTIVE. IT WAS AROUND 7:00 PM. NO CARS IN THE PASSING LANE. A TRACTOR TRAILER WAS ABOUT 200-300 FEET IN FRONT. THE DASHBOARD CHIMED AND DISPLAYED THE FOLLOWING THREE WARNING MESSAGES: COLLISION MITIGATION BRAKING SYSTEM, ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, AND LANE KEEPING ASSIST SYSTEM. THE FIRST TIME EACH MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED A CHIME SOUNDED; THE MESSAGES CONTINUED TO ROTATE THROUGH THE DISPLAY FOR THE NEXT THIRTY MINUTES. THE MESSAGES STOPPED WHEN WE GOT HOME AND PUT THE CAR IN THE GARAGE IN PARK. ADDITIONALLY, THE LIGHT FOR 'BRAKE SYSTEM' (NEAR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE) CAME ON. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TODAY FOR SERVICE (IT JUST HAPPENED THAT IT WAS SCHEDULED FOR AN OIL CHANGE); I TOLD THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED; THE TECHNICIAN WORKING ON THE VEHICLE SAID NO CODES WERE BEING DISPLAYED. HE TOOK IT FOR A RIDE BUT COULD NOT GET THE MESSAGES TO COME UP (IT ONLY HAPPENED ONE TIME). THE SERVICE ADVISOR SAID IT WAS PROBABLY 'JUST A GLITCH'.

REOCCURRING ISSUE OF THE INFOTAINMENT SCREEN EITHER FREEZING OR GOING BAZERK WHILE DRIVING. EITHER NOTHING WORKS, INCLUDING THE POWER BUTTON TO TURN THE WHOLE DISPLAY OFF, OR THE BUTTON WORKS, CUTS THE DISPLAY OFF AND THE RADIO CONTINUES TO PLAY, OR THE DISPLAY STARTS FLASHING BETWEEN SCREENS, ADJUSTING THE BRIGHTNESS, BEEPING CONTINUOUSLY AND SOMETIMES MAKING PHONE CALLS ALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT TO STOP IS TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND CUT THE CAR OFF. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH MULTIPLE PEOPLE POSTING HERE..... WHO KNOWS HOW MANY PEOPLE AREN'T GOING THRU THIS PROCESS TO REPORT. ISN'T THIS DISTRACTION WHILE DRIVING DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO BE INVESTIGATED AND PROVIDE FOR A RECALL. I HAVE A VIDEO BUT DON'T KNOW HOW TO LOAD IT. IT HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE AND AFTER THE VIDEO I TOOK, BUT I'LL USE THE DATE OF THE VIDEO. HOPING THAT POSTING TO THIS SITE WILL BRING SOME ACTION.

HONDA'S SENSING SYSTEM RANDOMLY DISPLAYS INVALID WARNING MESSAGES. THIS IS THE RADAR/CAMERA SYSTEM THAT MONITORS CARS SPEED, BRAKING, DISTANCES, CRUISE CONTROL, ETC. THIS IS A RANDOM ISSUE THAT OCCURS WHEN DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (45 TO 65MPH). WARNING LIGHTS COME ON STATING PROBLEMS WITH BRAKES, SPEED CONTROLS, ETC. THE MAIN SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT SYSTEM TELLS YOU THAT YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH YOUR BRAKES, AND YOU HAVE NO WAY OF KNOW IF THIS IS TRUE OR NOT. YOU ARE FORCED TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC AND UNDERSTAND IF THERE IS A PROBLEM OR NOT. I UNDERSTAND THAT IF IT IS SNOWING, HEAVY RAIN, HEAVY DUST, OR THE SENSORS ARE BLOCKED IN ANY WAY, A WARNING LIGHT WILL COME ON. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THAT THE WARNINGS COME ON RANDOMLY ON A SUNNY OR CLOUDY DRY DAY WHERE THERE SHOULD BE NOTHING THAT SETS THE SENSORS OFF. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM, YOU MUST STOP THE CAR, PLACE IT IN PARK AND THEN THE ALARMS CLEAR. THIS SYSTEM IS NOT RELIABLE AND CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, PLUS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED BY THE DEALER, AND PER HONDA INFORMATION, COULD RANDOMLY STOP THE CAR WHEN THERE IS NOT REAL PROBLEM (I.E. SET THE BRAKES AS I AM DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS FOR NO REASON). FALSE WARNING LIGHTS DISTRACT THE DRIVER AND COULD LEAD TO A COLLISION WHILE DRIVING OR ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TRYING TO DETERMINE IF THERE IS TRULY A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. SHOULD SYSTEM STOP THE CAR FOR NO REASON, IT COULD CAUSE A COLLISION. THIS CONTINUES TO OCCUR WITH THIS VEHICLE.

PE22011 · Rear Differential Seizure
Opened Nov 28, 2022 · Closed Jul 22, 2024
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Power Train; Power Train:axle Assembly; Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft; Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft:seal; Power Train:driveline:differential Unit; Power Train:driveline:driveshaft
On November 29, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE 22-011 after reviewing field reports alleging rear differential seizure in 2018-2022MY Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles equipped with all wheel drive. To date, ODI has not received any consumer complaints. Some of the field reports received alleged the vehicle’s wheels locked up with no warning while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged. The field reports cited a lack of oil due to damaged oil seals as the cause. Honda provided data including consumer complaints, field reports, and warranty claims they received relating to the loss of oil retention and resulting differential damage. Honda’s data cited 1201 incidents with unique vehicle identification numbers (VINs). The rear differential oil seals prevent the oil from leaking out and protect internal components from contaminants. A loss of oil lubrication results in failure of the vehicle differential. Honda stated that the oil seal’s lip contact with the driveshaft may become unstable due to intermittent changes in internal pressure. Their review of field report and warranty data indicated that these failures occurred early in the vehicle’s life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Honda stated that in November 2021 they changed the seal specifications and improved the packaging process of the parts for transport. Honda also enacted an enhanced visual inspection process both before and after the oil seal installation on the assembly line. Honda stated that in the event of differential failure, the operator can control the vehicle without stability loss. After the drive shafts break due to differential failure, the operator will hear noises and the vehicle will still function as a 2WD vehicle preventing complete loss of motive power. Based on the following factors, ODI is closing this investigation: · Information regarding field failures does not indicate hazardous outcomes · The failures are occurring early in the life of the vehicle · Repairs are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty · The vehicle can continue functioning as a 2WD without loss of stability control in the event of failure The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.

On November 29, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE 22-011 after reviewing field reports alleging rear differential seizure in 2018-2022MY Honda CR-V and HR-V vehicles equipped with all wheel drive. To date, ODI has not received any consumer complaints. Some of the field reports received alleged the vehicle’s wheels locked up with no warning while the vehicle was in motion. These vehicles were towed to a dealership. Examination of these vehicles showed the driveshaft had broken and the differential unit was completely damaged. The field reports cited a lack of oil due to damaged oil seals as the cause. Honda provided data including consumer complaints, field reports, and warranty claims they received relating to the loss of oil retention and resulting differential damage. Honda’s data cited 1201 incidents with unique vehicle identification numbers (VINs). The rear differential oil seals prevent the oil from leaking out and protect internal components from contaminants. A loss of oil lubrication results in failure of the vehicle differential. Honda stated that the oil seal’s lip contact with the driveshaft may become unstable due to intermittent changes in internal pressure. Their review of field report and warranty data indicated that these failures occurred early in the vehicle’s life thus the failures were covered by the manufacturer’s warranty. Honda stated that in November 2021 they changed the seal specifications and improved the packaging process of the parts for transport. Honda also enacted an enhanced visual inspection process both before and after the oil seal installation on the assembly line. Honda stated that in the event of differential failure, the operator can control the vehicle without stability loss. After the drive shafts break due to differential failure, the operator will hear noises and the vehicle will still function as a 2WD vehicle preventing complete loss of motive power. Based on the following factors, ODI is closing this investigation: · Information regarding field failures does not indicate hazardous outcomes · The failures are occurring early in the life of the vehicle · Repairs are covered under the manufacturer’s warranty · The vehicle can continue functioning as a 2WD without loss of stability control in the event of failure The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist, and the agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.

On February 21, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22003) to assess reports of inadvertent activation of the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), an automatic emergency braking (AEB) system, in model year 2017-2019 Honda CR-V and 2018-2019 Honda Accord vehicles. The reports allege that activation of the AEB system occurs while driving with no apparent obstruction in the vehicle's forward path, resulting in sudden vehicle deceleration. Honda indicated that they were aware of a total of X,XXX reports that may relate to the alleged defect. Honda provided analysis of the alleged defect and alleges that some customers possibly had an inadequate understanding of the CMBS and its limitations. However, many consumer complaints allege that Honda dealerships were unable to reproduce the condition or state that they were informed that this is considered normal CMBS operation. To date, ODI has received a total of 1,081 consumer complaints of inadvertent activation of CMBS in the subject vehicles. A total of 24 complaints alleged a crash and 42 alleged an injury. The Total column in the Failure Report Summary removes duplicate reports and shows the total number of reports with unique VINs from all Manufacturer, ODI, and EWR data sources. In some cases, there were multiple reports associated with a particular vehicle in which recurring failures were alleged. In total, there were X,XXX reports, 84 injury incidents and 40 crashes involving vehicles with unique VINs that may relate to the alleged defect. PE22003 has been upgraded to an Engineering Analysis (EA24002) to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the inadvertent AEB activations. Further the scope has been expanded to include assessment of model year 2020-2022 Honda CR-V and Accord vehicles.
