01 / Manufacturer response

What did the manufacturer do?

Honda instructs dealers to replace the gasket when coolant leaks into the combustion chamber. Inspection findings can also require replacement of a warped cylinder head or engine short block.

02 / Applicability

Which vehicles are listed?

2017–2022 CR-V; the table lists all trim levels, but Honda requires a VIN eligibility inquiry.

The document describes a defined set of vehicles and conditions. A matching badge or model year alone is not an eligibility decision.

03 / Coverage conditions

What should you check first?

  • Ask a Honda dealer to check the VIN in iN before assuming coverage.
  • A code or symptom alone does not confirm the covered diagnosis.

Take these questions to the dealer.

Ask for the eligibility result, diagnosis and any customer contribution in writing. Keep earlier repair invoices if reimbursement may apply. Recallfolio does not check or store your VIN.
