Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

In the 2024 model year the HR‑V generated 107 federal complaints, 4 recalls and 1 investigation, placing it well below the 681 complaints recorded in 2023 but still above the 61 complaints seen in 2021. Recalls in 2024 match the level of 2021 and 2022 (four recalls) and are lower than the seven recalls of 2019, indicating a relatively stable recall rate across the recent generation. The 2024 complaint profile is dominated by steering‑related issues (40 complaints), followed by unknown/other (7), visibility/wiper (6) and seat‑belt (4) concerns, with no disclosed root cause for any of these categories. Compared with the upward trajectory of investigations and TSBs that peaked in 2023, the 2024 figures show a modest decline in both complaints and investigations, suggesting a downward trend in reported problems. Consequently, while the 2024 HR‑V exhibits fewer problems than the 2023 peak, the lingering steering complaints and modest recall count mean it remains a cautious choice, making the 2024 model year a moderate‑risk purchase.
