Late model CRV Hybrid blown head gaskets.. interesting...
I liked the latest CRV but the $10k + trim to trim extra over the Outlander because of price gouging I'd figure that would buy a bunch of gas especially at $2.65 a gallon and now near $4...

Late model CRV Hybrid blown head gaskets.. interesting...

Several Canadian owners of the current 11th generation Honda Accord hybrids are reporting on Reddit that they're getting notified of a head gasket recall in the HondaLink app as of today:

My understanding is that the hybrid Accord's LFC5 naturally aspirated 2.0 liter engine is fundamentally the same engine used in the current generation of hybrid CRVs, just tuned slightly differently between the Accord vs. CRV.

I knew that the turbocharged 1.5 liter Accord / CRV engines have had a troubling history and frequency of head gasket failures, but was hoping it wasn't an issue with the 2.0 liter engines. As a 2024 Accord hybrid owner, I don't love seeing reports that it is.

Will be interesting to see if this head gasket recall is real and if so, if it gets extended to US owners too.
