## United States (NHTSA), as of 2026-10-19

- [13V143000](/recalls/nhtsa/13V143000.md), 2013-04-15: POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. Honda is recalling certain model year 2012\-2013 CR\-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles.  During sub\-freezing temperatures, the brake\-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal.  As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention." Built 2012\-06\-11 to 2012\-09\-28.
- [12V501000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V501000.md), 2012-10-16: EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS. Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 CR\-V, equipped with the LX trim level and manufactured from August 30, 2012, to August 31, 2012.  These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."  The incorrect values for Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Axle Weight Rating front and rear, tire size, and rim size were specified on the safety certification label. Built 2012\-08\-30 to 2012\-08\-31.
- [12V338000](/recalls/nhtsa/12V338000.md), 2012-07-19: LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:DOORS:LATCH. Honda is recalling certain model year 2012 Honda CR\-V and model year 2013 Acura ILX vehicles.  If the manual or power door lock is activated while an interior front door handle is being operated by an occupant, the cable connecting the interior door handle to the door latch mechanism may become loose and move out of position.  There is a possibility that the cable can move far enough out of position to prevent the door from properly latching.

## Canada (Transport Canada), as of 2026-10-19

- [2013114](/recalls/tc/2013114.md), 2013-04-10: Other. On certain vehicles, the brake\-shift interlock may not function properly at low temperatures.  This could allow the transmission gear shift lever to be moved out of the PARK position without depressing the brake pedal.  Depending which gear the driver selects, the vehicle could begin to move forward or backward immediately.  This movement could result in property damage, or cause the vehicle to strike a bystander, potentially resulting in personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will replace the gear shift assembly stopper.
- [2012220](/recalls/tc/2012220.md), 2012-07-19: Other. On certain vehicles, if the manual or power door lock is activated while an interior front door handle is being opened, the cable connecting the interior door handle to the door latch mechanism may become loose and move out of position.  If this occurs, the door may not latch when closed.  If it does latch, the door could then open unexpectedly once the door locks are operated.  A door opening while the vehicle is underway could allow an unbelted occupant to fall from the vehicle and sustain personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the front door latch assemblies.  In addition, the interior front door handles will be replaced on certain 2012 CR\-V vehicles.
