American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) has issued a "Request for Info: 2023-2024 CR-V Run Channel Issue (ACTION REQUIRED)" to its dealership personnel, seeking to gather specific information about certain 2023-2024 Honda CR-V vehicles. This initiative, identified by NHTSA ID 10240767, aims to understand the root cause of customer complaints related to the run channel.

Why Honda is Investigating This Issue

Honda is currently searching for 2023-2024 CR-Vs where owners have reported a "visually defective run channel", experienced unusual wind noise, or encountered issues with window function. These complaints often lead to a recommendation to replace the affected run channel. To gain a deeper understanding of this condition and its underlying causes, AHM is collecting detailed vehicle information prior to you attempting a repair of any kind. This proactive approach helps ensure a comprehensive solution can be developed.

Symptoms Owners Might Notice

Owners of 2023-2024 Honda CR-V models might experience one or more of the following symptoms related to the Honda CR-V run channel issue:

  • A "visually defective run channel".
  • Unusual wind noise emanating from the window area.
  • Problems with the window's function, potentially linked to the run channel.

Qualifying Conditions for Information Collection

Honda is specifically interested in vehicles that meet strict qualifying requirements for this data collection effort. Your 2023-2024 Honda CR-V must satisfy all of the following conditions for your dealership to report it:

  • The run channel defect, wind noise, or window function issue must be visually confirmed and traceable to a defective run channel.
  • Any visual defects of the affected run channel must be documented with clear photos (1 wide-angle & 1 close-up) before removing the run channel.
  • The vehicle must not have been involved in a collision.
  • No repair attempts for this specific issue should have been made previously.

Important Notes for Owners

It is crucial for owners to understand that this is an information-gathering request, not a repair bulletin or recall at this stage. Honda has explicitly stated that they are interested in collecting specific information prior to you attempting a repair of any kind. Therefore, if your vehicle exhibits these symptoms and meets the qualifying conditions, it's important not to attempt any repairs yourself or have an independent shop do so before consulting with a Honda dealership. Additionally, Honda is NOT notifying consumers directly about this request; this message is
