Important Service Information
AFFECTED VEHICLES: 2018-2024 CR-V HR-V AWD
Do not over-torque the rear differential drain plugs when servicing. FINAL TORQUE MUST BE ACHIEVED USING A TORQUE WRENCH.
Honda has analyzed returned rear differential assemblies and found that many rear differential drain plug threads were over-torqued and stripped during normal maintenance servicing, creating a fluid leak that allows the fluid level to get low enough to cause the rear differential to fail.
Video Training Modules Available
American Honda has developed video training modules to educate and prepare technicians to better understand the importance of proper tightening of fasteners and drain bolt torque specifications.
Available modules include:
- ESC28: DRAIN AND REFILL REAR DIFFERENTIAL (Self-Study)
- GIC35: THREADED FASTNERS & TORQUE (Self-Study)
