Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 CR-V.
The 2017 Honda CR‑V is a sport‑utility vehicle that relies on a 0W‑20 engine oil system with a capacity of 4.6 quarts. It was subject to seven recalls and accumulated 1,738 owner complaints, with engine‑related issues cited as the top complaint area. Within the CR‑V’s complaint history from 1997 through 2026, the 2017 model’s total falls below the 2018 peak of 2,085 complaints but remains above the projected low of 98 complaints expected for 2026. This places the 2017 model year at a mid‑range point in the vehicle’s reliability trajectory, indicating fewer problems than the worst year but more than the best‑case outlook.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
In the federal record, 2017 records 1,738 complaints, the highest single‑year total for the CR‑V generation, while recalls number 7 and investigations 2. Compared with the immediate prior year (2016: 388 complaints, 3 recalls, 1 investigation) and the following year (2018: 2,085 complaints, 5 recalls, 3 investigations), 2017’s complaint volume spikes but its recall count remains modest. The complaint surge is concentrated in engine (234), electrical system (175), unknown or other (159) and forward‑collision‑avoidance (153) categories. Fire‑related complaints are minimal at 4, and crash complaints number 42, indicating that safety‑critical incidents are not disproportionately high. Given the elevated but still within the recent upward trend of complaints and the absence of a disproportionate recall or fire incidence, the data suggest that a 2017 CR‑V carries a higher likelihood of owner‑reported issues than earlier model years, so prospective buyers should weigh these reports carefully before purchasing.
