On the 2020-2025 Honda CR-V 2.0L Hybrid, the CR-V Hybrid (2020+) uses regenerative braking as the primary retardation method, meaning the conventional friction brakes are used less frequently than on non-hybrid models. This reduced usage causes brake rotors to develop surface rust and corrosion significantly faster, creating a grinding noise that worries owners into unnecessary brake replacement. Additionally, the rear brake pads on CR-V Hybrids experience glazing and reduced effectiveness from infrequent use. Honda TSB 21-081 addresses this with a brake conditioning procedure. Rear brake pad replacement is required more frequently than expected despite low physical wear because of glazing.
Normal rotor surface rust (within 0.2mm) is cleared by firm brake application at 25-30 mph - perform 5-6 firm brake applications during first drive of the day to clear surface rust. Honda TSB 21-081 addresses glazed rear pads with resurfacing procedure. For significant rotor corrosion/pitting: replace rotors ($100-150 each) and pads. Use brake system periodically (weekly hard stop from 30 mph) to prevent rust buildup on Hybrid models used primarily for short trips. Premium rotors (Centric, EBC, Power Stop) resist rust better.

On the 2023-2025 Honda CR-V, the 6th generation CR-V (2023+) receives early owner complaints about two noise issues: (1) A heat shield rattle from the exhaust/turbo area on cold starts that settles after warm-up. Honda TSB 23-031 addresses loose heat shield fasteners with updated torque specifications and retaining clips. (2) A characteristic direct-injection "ticking" noise from the 1.5T engine that is considered normal but alarms new owners. Honda issued a TSB clarifying that direct-injection ticking is inherent to the engine design. The 2023 CR-V also received updated Honda Sensing software to reduce phantom braking inherited from previous generation.
For heat shield rattle: Honda dealer retorques heat shield fasteners and installs updated retaining clips per TSB 23-031 (free under warranty). For DI injector ticking: Honda TSB clarifies this is a normal engine characteristic - no repair available, but confirm with dealer to document. For Honda Sensing phantom braking: Get latest Honda Sensing software update (free under warranty). For ECON mode CVT roughness: Disable ECON mode as preferred driving mode - CR-V Owners Club notes 6th gen CVT performs best in Normal or Sport modes.
