Honda Cr-V Fcev
NHTSA safety across every Honda Cr-V Fcev model year we cover.
Across the 1 model year of the Honda Cr-V Fcev we cover (2025 to 2025), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. 1 recall have been issued across those years.
The 2025 Honda CR-V FCEV is a hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle built on the familiar CR-V platform, targeting eco-conscious compact crossover buyers who want zero-emission driving without the range anxiety of a battery-only EV. It occupies a very small, specialized slice of the market, currently available in limited regions, and represents Honda's continued commitment to hydrogen as a viable passenger-car technology.
The 2025 Honda CR-V FCEV arrives in showrooms with a safety record that is, at this early stage, genuinely incomplete. NHTSA has not crash-tested this vehicle, meaning there are no star ratings or Safety Index scores to anchor a traditional safety assessment. Shoppers accustomed to leaning on federal crash-test data before signing a lease will find a blank where those numbers should be. That absence alone is worth treating as a caution flag, not a condemnation, but a real gap. On the recall front, one recall has been issued across the 2025 model year. That figure is low, but with a vehicle this new and this technically specialized, it is worth monitoring the NHTSA recall database closely as the model matures. The complaint picture is more sobering. Owners have filed 224 complaints, a notably high number for a low-volume vehicle in its first model year. Within those unverified allegations, 27 involve reported crashes and 23 involve reported injuries. Fire-related complaints total 5, a figure that deserves particular attention given the hydrogen fuel system at the heart of this powertrain. None of these complaints have resulted in reported deaths, and all remain unverified allegations, but the volume and character of the complaints suggest buyers should stay attentive. Bottom line: the CR-V FCEV is a pioneering vehicle with a safety data picture that is still taking shape. Proceed with awareness.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally praise the CR-V FCEV for its refined, car-like driving character and the seamless, quiet power delivery that hydrogen fuel-cell propulsion provides. Interior comfort and materials are described as consistent with Honda's mainstream crossover standards. Most reviewers note that its highly limited availability and specialized fueling infrastructure make it a niche choice rather than a broadly practical one for most buyers.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2025 CR-V FCEV, so there are no federal star ratings available. Shoppers cannot compare its structural safety performance against competitors using standard government benchmarks.
- Owner complaints total 224 for the 2025 model year alone, which is a high count for a low-volume vehicle. Among those unverified allegations are 27 reported crashes and 23 reported injuries, suggesting a pattern worth monitoring closely.
- Five owner complaints involve reported fires. Given that the CR-V FCEV uses a pressurized hydrogen fuel system rather than a conventional fuel tank or lithium-ion battery, any fire-related complaint pattern warrants extra scrutiny as the model's history develops.
- One recall has already been issued for the 2025 model year. Because this is a first-generation hydrogen vehicle in a new configuration, shoppers should register their vehicle with NHTSA to receive recall notices promptly and check the NHTSA recall database regularly.
