SEOCONTENT-START

Service Bulletin 21-092 December 3, 2021 Version 1 Safety Recall: 2022 CR-V Hybrid Right Side Driveshaft AFFECTED VEHICLES Year Model Trim VIN Range 2022 CR-V Hybrid All Check the iN VIN status for eligibility. BACKGROUND A small number of 2022 CR-V Hybrids were manufactured with front driveshafts that have constant velocity joints (CV Joint) which were improperly manufactured. If the complete driveshaft is not replaced it could result in premature wear, excessive noise, vibration, and over time possible part failure. The affected vehicles will only have a right side front driveshaft that will need to be replaced. No vehicles will require both front driveshafts to be replaced. The VIN inquiry system will identify which vehicle needs the right side front driveshaft to be replaced. CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign. Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible. Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new or used vehicle inventory. Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the right front driveshaft.
