Honda 5th Gen CRV Hybrid - brake pedal feel simulator

[ninjag]

Does anyone know about this failure? Apparently there's a huge recall in Japan (and also America?) but I believe Honda UK (and Europe) haven't recalled them here. Basically the brakes fail, but because there is still a tiny amount of braking power left, it doesn't qualify for a UK mandatory recall.

It can cost up to £3,000 to fix and Honda apparently won't always offer a goodwill if out of warranty, but when they do it's only 40%. Seems poor for a manufacturing defect. The more I dig into it the more worrying it appears. Would this be a deal breaker?

I think it s the same issue that the new Jazz has.

My 2021 model would have been affected but I d sold it before it failed.

Initially the response from dealers was varied. Some replacing free and others charging up to £3k.

Annoyingly they all seemed to fail just as soon as the standard warranty finished.

On Jazz I believe they are now consistently fixing them for no charge. As they should, it was a manufacturing issue.

Thanks. It's really putting me off, not so much the actual failure but Honda's attitude and not knowing if it will be covered.

I emailed Honda UK if they could let me know which cars are affected, or the VIN range, but they refused and said I should speak with the dealer, who subsequently claimed to know nothing about the failure.
