Honda HR-V water leak in right rear tail light requiring new assembly replacement on Honda HR-V

Some Honda HR-V owners report experiencing water leaks in the right rear tail light, a common issue recognized by Honda UK. Repair costs for addressing this problem can average around $410, but some owners have opted for DIY replacements, finding parts for less than $100 compared to quotes of $1000 from Honda shops. Additionally, when OEM parts are back-ordered or costly, some owners choose aftermarket tail lights as an alternative solution. It is essential for owners to address the root cause of the leak, as neglecting this can lead to ongoing water ingress that may damage bulbs, sockets, or reflectors. A frequent cause of these leaks is sealant cracks at the back of the roof rails, which should be properly repaired to prevent future issues.
