Problem Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2025 Honda CR-V Fuel Cell EV vehicles.

Owner notification letters were mailed February 3 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is CN4.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. CN4 is the number Honda assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 25V858000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
