CarComplaints.com Notes: It's rare when a newer vehicle has defect trends, & the 2017 Honda CR-V has at least two — overfilled oil levels with a gas smell, & heat not working.
Both problems affecting the Honda CR-V's 1.5L "Earth Dreams" engine appear to be related to cold-climate regions.
CR-V owners report overfilled oil levels due to fuel in the oil, & sometimes a gas smell in the cabin. That problem appears to be related to fuel injection which Honda hopes to fix via a software update. Honda so far has only conducted a recall in China & a "product update" in Canada.
CR-V owners also report no heat even after warming up their CR-Vs for 30 minutes — not even enough to defrost the windshield. So far, there has been no fix from Honda for this issue.

Honda, you want to improve the environment, stick to attaining better gas mileage in safe vehicles. Having soy (soy being a delicous food source for mice, squirrels, flying squirrels, etc) based coated wiring running though the entire vehicle is environmentalism run amuck. Increasing gas mileage has a daily improvement on the environment... soy based materials, if the car lasts 20 years, thats a once in 1x365x20 days event. And heck, it probably hurts the environment, because now my chewed up new wiring harness is at the dump, and you've had to produce a new soy based one as a replacement, and the environmental costs to make another harness, are probable more detrimental than just having a non-soy based harness last 20 years.
I can feed the rodents around my home for a lot less than the $500 it took to repair this issue. And who knows how long this "fix" will last.
I mean... come on.
