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.

Yep I agree and I felt the 2L was immune.. my 2025 Accord Hybrid is gone.. But my niece just bought one because of mine .. a 2026

If my local dealers didn't go $2k over MSRP on the CRV hybrid I would have bought one...

Why did you part with it so soon? Didn't like it?

Or is this just what Zee09 does?

No its all on this thread... it was a complete Lemon and a rattle trap.
They didn't fix it and lied on a few issues so I sold it to Carvana and told them the truth and the driver bought it...

I have a pair of CRVs at work with the 1.5 turbos. Up there in miles when you count the extensive idle time. No head gasket issues, yet, but plenty of AC and cooling problems.

Sorry, I missed that.

Reminds me of issues with my '00 Accord. Car was poorly assembled - air leaks, water leaks galore, and dealers were completely useless trying to fix them. I ditched it within a year - probably the shortest amount of time I ever owned a vehicle, and a new one at that. I think that experience turned me off Honda for life, although I did consider getting a new '23 Accord Hybrid, but it was first model year, so I chickened out.
