CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends. Judging from the identical 2017 model year, the 2018 Honda CR-V is likely to have at least two — overfilled oil levels with a gas smell, & heat not working.
Both problems affecting the Honda CR-V's 1.5L "Earth Dreams" engine appear to be related to cold-climate regions.
CR-V owners report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.
CR-V owners also report no heat even after warming up their CR-Vs for 30 minutes — not even enough to defrost the windshield. So far, there has been no fix from Honda for this issue.

This rack and pinion steering failure is a problem cited by several others, a few on this site, yet Honda refuses to acknowledge it as a probem. In fact, while working with the dealer service team I was informed that another customer experienced the same problem, ordered the part then sold their car prior to the repair. Ironically making a part that was otherwise on back order available for my repair. Firstly it’s interesting that another local car owner had the same issue and more importantly that the part was in such high demand that it’s on back order. Something is wrong here and Honda is doing nothing about it.
