Owner-reported
2002 Honda CR-V mileage at failure
324 of the 515 complaints on file for the 2002 Honda CR-V give the vehicle's mileage when the problem happened.
| Component | Median | Middle half | Based on |
|---|---|---|---|
| Air Bags | Median 105,000 miles | Middle half 55,000–170,000 miles | Based on 54 complaints |
| Electrical System | Median 110,000 miles | Middle half 60,000–155,000 miles | Based on 64 complaints |
| Engine | Median 75,000 miles | Middle half 60,000–105,000 miles | Based on 53 complaints |
| Exterior Lighting | Median 135,000 miles | Middle half 100,000–160,000 miles | Based on 46 complaints |
| Equipment | Median 80,000 miles | Middle half 65,000–110,000 miles | Based on 34 complaints |
A component's median is its 50th percentile, and its middle half runs from its 25th to its 75th percentile.
Owners give the mileage themselves, often as a round number, and NHTSA doesn't check it. A complaint that names several components counts under each one, and mileages that can't be right, such as 999,999, or 50 miles on a five-year-old car, are left out.
These figures describe the complaints owners filed. They don't predict when a particular vehicle will have a problem, and vehicles that never had one aren't counted.
Complaints received before December 15, 2002 rarely give a mileage, so they aren't counted here.

NHTSA defect investigations
NHTSA's investigations file lists the 2002 Honda CR-V in 8 investigations. A listed model year means only that an investigation names it; it says nothing about any particular vehicle. An open investigation is not a finding that a safety defect exists, and NHTSA can close one without a recall.
