- Cause: The recall addressed a potential issue with the secondary shaft bearing in the automatic transmission. The bearing could become damaged if the driver rapidly shifted between Reverse, Neutral, and Drive, as might occur when trying to dislodge the vehicle from mud or snow.
- Consequence: A damaged bearing could cause the engine to stall or make it difficult to engage the parking gear, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy: Honda dealers updated the transmission control module software to ease the transition between gears and prevent damage to the bearing. If you own a 2009 CR-V, you should verify that this recall was completed.
