Quick summary
Total: 10,631 cars
The 2008 Honda CR-V has an overall defect rate of 336 per 100 vehicles, which is slightly lower than the yearly average of 337 per 100 vehicles. Notably, the model performs particularly well in the brakes category, with significantly fewer defects compared to the average, as well as in equipment and other issues. However, it shows a concerning trend in steering defects, which are higher than average. Mileage-related trends reveal that defect rates increase with mileage, especially after 124,000 miles. Overall, while the CR-V excels in certain areas, attention should be given to steering issues as vehicles age.
