History Behind the Lawsuit
A class action lawsuit has been filed in California targeting American Honda Motor Co., alleging that 2018–2022 Honda CR-V SUVs suffer from serious internal engine defects. According to court documents, the lawsuit claims that engines in these CR-Vs are prone to self-destructing due to internal component failures, which pose a risk to safety and significantly reduce the value of the vehicles.
The plaintiffs, who own a 2021 Honda CR-V, state they brought their SUV to the dealership multiple times due to engine-related “nonconformities.” Despite being under warranty, the repeated repair efforts allegedly failed to fix the issues. According to the lawsuit, the CR-V was out of service for more than 30 days, making it eligible for replacement or restitution under California law, but Honda denied the request.
The plaintiffs allege that Honda is aware of the problem but continues to deny replacement demands or offer meaningful resolutions, even as other CR-V owners reportedly face similar issues.
What Vehicles Are Affected
The class action specifically targets all 2018–2022 Honda CR-V SUVs sold or leased in California. These vehicles are alleged to share a common internal engine defect that can lead to failure without warning, potentially endangering drivers and passengers.
What Honda Owners Should Do Next
California-based owners or lessees of a 2018–2022 Honda CR-V who have experienced engine issues, especially those who have had their vehicle in service for extended periods without resolution, may be eligible to join the lawsuit.
Affected individuals are encouraged to document all repair attempts, gather communication records with dealerships or Honda, and consider seeking legal advice.
How Honda Owners Can Take Back Control
While this class action lawsuit has been initiated, thousands of Honda owners are likely affected by the same alleged engine defect, with many expressing dissatisfaction over Honda’s responses. These types of issues often lead to escalated legal action, highlighting the importance of protecting consumer rights.
