Honda CR-V cargo area easy fold levers not releasing seats on Honda CR-V

Problem overview

Some Honda CR-V owners report experiencing difficulties with the cargo area easy fold levers not releasing the seats. These issues may stem from the pull bar that adjusts the seat not functioning properly or being obstructed, preventing the seat from moving. Additionally, owners have found that checking for obstructions in the release mechanism can be helpful, and using a cable wire tie may sometimes assist in releasing the seats. In certain models, there is also a lever located on the bottom sides of the back seats that needs to be lifted to create a flat cargo area. Furthermore, if there is a height difference between the laid-down seats and the trunk, some owners suggest using a heavy-duty folding table to bridge the gap for a more even cargo surface. Addressing these concerns promptly can enhance the functionality of the cargo area in the Honda CR-V.
