Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 CR-V.
The 2022 Honda CR-V is paired with an automatic transmission using variable gear ratios, delivering an EPA-estimated 27/32/29 mpg while requiring 3.7 quarts of 0W-20 oil. Within the model's documented history from 1997 to 2026, this specific year accumulated 236 total owner complaints with steering identified as the top complaint area, alongside three recalls. This reliability profile positions the 2022 model well below the model history's peak of 2,085 complaints in 2018. However, the total remains above the 99 complaints recorded for the 2026 model year.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 CR-V posts a notably clean federal record, with 236 complaints, 3 recalls, 2 investigations, and 57 TSBs — figures that fall well below the 2017–2019 spike (which peaked at 2,085 complaints and 8 investigations in 2018) and continue the descending trend from 332 complaints in 2020 and 310 in 2021. That said, 2022 does not mark a permanent floor for the nameplate: complaints rose to 503 in 2023 before easing to 365 in 2024 and 228 in 2025, so the year's profile is best read as a favorable point within a generation that has not fully stabilized. Complaint volume in 2022 is heavily concentrated in the Steering category at 111 of the 236 filings, with Forward Collision Avoidance a distant second at 27 and Engine a much smaller third at 7, though the underlying root cause of the steering cluster is not specified in the data. Crash-related filings number 5 and fire complaints stand at 0, indicating no broader safety-incident pattern in the reported record. On balance, the 2022 model year is a defensible used-buy candidate from a federal-record standpoint, but a pre-purchase inspection that specifically exercises the steering system is advisable given that category's outsized share of the year's filings.
