There would only be a fine if Honda is under a legal obligation to disclose that information to the NHTSA. Since the investigation has been closed by NHTSA I doubt Honda is providing any more information to them.
The dealership replaced both rear rotors, and pads, and machined both front rotors. The vehicle has 66000 km (41000 miles).
Wow! The old rear pads are badly worn, and one of them is paper-thin. If these really came off my CR-V, then Honda has a serious quality problem.
The part numbers on the rotor boxes (made in Japan) are 132-A-607, and the rear pads (also made in Japan) are 43022-s7s-010 and 4H29. Is anyone on this forum able to check the veracity of these being CR-V parts, rather than those for, say, a 1995 Accord?
Thanx
A much poorer today Dave.
Granted, there are lots of reports now, but that is probably due to publicity. Seems silly for Honda to say "all is well" then never have no reporting obligations. Oh well, that is where this forum comes in.
I know the ins companies are talking, but interestingly, of the ones I know of locally there were not two of the same insurance companies involved.

The complete part numbers should be:
Rear rotor - 42510-S9A-N00 $110.78 USD
Rear pads - 43022-S7S-010 $53.13 USD

That said, if it is as nice as described, and you can get them to come down a few hundred, it sounds like a good deal.
The original owner and all service records is a nice thing.

Does this make sense? The rear rotors are definitely new, but I'm still wondering if the old ones needed replacing at 65000 kilometers?
Also check out www.macneil.com - I have their deflector on my Odyssey and it's a great unit.
Good Luck.
As a reference point, I just spent $1400 on an '86 civic wagon with 126K miles on that promptly took $2000 to "spruce up". I'd say your well maintained CR-V is a better deal than that! ;-)
BTW - the "sprucing up" is stuff resulting from not being well maintained - timing belt, water pump, carburetor tuning, tires, alignment, fuel filters, cooling fan motor and switch, etc, etc, etc... And I'm still happy with her!

Do a search on the CR-V Accessories board here - there may be more. There are at least 5 different styles I've seen.
NO VEHICLE that is 7+ years old and has 169,000 miles on it is worth $4300.
If you only depreciate the vehicle for mileage at 12 cents per mile the car has depreceiated $20,280. That is easily more than the original cost of that vehicle. That doesn't even get into the increased maintenance that you should expect on such a high mileage vehicle.
That being said I think that it should be a great vehicle for about $2000.

Especially if it's an EX.
The sites I checked showed that price to be reasonable for that year and mileage CR-V.

There wasn't an EX model in 1997.
7 years from today in year 2011 will 03 & 04 Honda CR-Vs fetch 20% of its new price? Nope...because they'll all be burned to ashes because after 20,000 fires and 500 deaths, Honda will still refuse to recall the vehicle.
Well, I officially reached 1000 miles this morning on my way into work. I've now had the CRV for about a month, took a little 300 mile roadtrip... love it.
Anyway, I wanted to ask... I'm going on a 1000+ mile roadtrip starting next weekend, and I'm wondering if it's okay for me to start using cruise control? Before I got my V, I had read on these boards that you are supposed to avoid cruise control for a while so that you vary the RPMs and break in the engine properly. I just can't remember how long I'm supposed to do that?
I'm just thinking that it'd be awful nice to be able to use cruise control at times on such a long trip...
Thanks!
And it will still be a problem with incompetent mechanics.

I think that's a bit dramatic and highly unlikely.
I hope it isn't too surprising that my 94 AccordEX (140,000miles)was sold at $4100. I wish I could have kept it, it was in wonderful condition, but I wanted the $ for downpayment on my new V!
And it will still be a problem with incompetent Honda mechanics who perform the first oil change on CRVs made after 2002.
Anyone know how to tell a VERY early 1997 CRV?
They didn't have the fold down tray between the front seats.
And, sorry...you are WAY overreacting on this fire situation.
4 bolt wheels?
I should have said that there is no way I would pay $4300 for a 7 year old vehicle with that many miles that was not originally a $45k+ vehicle when new. Just an opinion and I didn't want to give advice that was contrary to my position on that.
Can I contact you guys in about 5 more years and 100k more miles? I'll have a 2002 CR-V EX to sell you then. If you'll give me 20% of the original MSRP then I'll be a happy camper. Then there's this bridge.......

That was an actual defect.
Now, they are getting flamed for not taking proactive action for a car that doesn't appear to be defective.
Can't win...
I went with the CR-V because the rear seating arrangment is excellent (39" of legroom!), and I needed the larger size. I have been pleased with my choice. The RT4WD is really meant to increase traction for on-road use, not off road.
To me, if the smaller size of the RAV4 is OK, then there is a decision. However, for a family vehicle, the CR-V is better.
I also shopped the Subaru Forester, but again, the rear seats were too small for me. Excellent 4WD system though.

These CR-V's still get stupid money
See post 20636 over there.
isell: I think the reason they did it that way for '97 is they rushed the vehicle over from Japan. I don't think any other Honda, at least from the mid '80s on, didn't have a trim designation. Except the '97 CR-V. Again, I could be wrong. And I also think the early '97s had the option of adding the tray free of charge.
Honda never really has the best time to buy, because they offer weak or no incentives at all. I guess I would wait until they offer a 1.9% financing deal...that's about all you'll get from Honda.
We love our 2003 and don't worry about a "fire problem".
