2020 Honda CR-V: collision-avoidance and air bag complaints lead the list

Owners filed 324 complaints with NHTSA. The largest cluster is the forward-collision/automatic-braking system at 72 reports (22%), followed by air bags at 45 (14%) and the electrical system at 41 (13%). The fuel and engine systems round out the top five at 33 and 31 reports (10% each). Air bags drew the most crashes and injuries (8 each), and two electrical-system reports involved a fire. Watch for the collision system failing or activating on its own, sudden air bag deployment, and gasoline mixing into the engine oil.
