Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing various electrical system and software issues related to the Body Control Module (BCM), leading to screen failures and disabled safety features, particularly in different weather conditions. These owners have noted 24 complaints regarding electrical problems, including error codes that prevent the hatchback from opening and other system failures. Concerns regarding the BCM have been highlighted, with software errors causing malfunctions such as inoperative wipers and lighting. Additionally, some owners attribute these issues to software glitches or touchscreen hardware problems, with faulty wiring harnesses also identified as contributing factors. The safety implications of these electrical and software issues are significant, as they can disable critical features like Lane Assist and Cruise Control, posing risks to drivers. Furthermore, problems, especially related to the 1.5L "Earth Dreams" engine, appear to be more pronounced in cold-climate regions, with reports of overfilled oil levels due to fuel contamination suggesting a weather-related impact on performance. Owners experiencing these challenges may need to address BCM software errors and electrical system glitches to ensure their vehicles function properly.
