2017 Honda CR-V: fuel leak

Filed Apr 21, 2026 · Engine, Fuel system · TX

System/Component Involved: Fuel System / Fuel Injectors / High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe Description of Incident and Safety Risk: My 2017 Honda CR-V (1.5T engine) experienced a fuel system failure evidenced by DTC P0172 and a failed AF cylinder test, confirmed by an authorized Honda dealer. This failure leads to engine hesitation and power loss, creating a safety hazard during operation. More critically, during the repair (Case #16244235), the dealer and manufacturer refused to replace the High-Pressure Fuel Joint Pipe. According to Honda’s official Service Manual and TSBs for the Earth Dreams 1.5T engine, this pipe is a mandatory, one-time-use component that must be replaced whenever fuel injectors are serviced. Reusing this component violates Honda’s own safety protocols and poses a severe fire risk due to potential fuel leakage under high pressure ($20\text{ MPa}$+). Safety Risk to Others: Reinstalling a non-reusable high-pressure fuel line creates a high probability of fuel spraying onto hot engine components, leading to an under-hood fire while driving. This endangers the occupants and others on the road. Reproduction and Inspection: The injector failure was confirmed by [Insert Dealer Name] in Houston, TX. The subsequent safety violation (failure to replace the mandatory fuel joint pipe) is documented on my repair invoice dated April 2026. The vehicle and the old part (if still on the car) are available for inspection. Symptoms and Warning Lamps: The Check Engine Light (DTC P0172) appeared shortly before the failure, accompanied by a strong gasoline odor and engine stalling symptoms.

When I go to honda dealership, they tell me I have no recalls on my car, although im reading everywhere else, and im getting notices in the mail on a few of them. I feel like im being lied to about my car and im afraid that my car is going to fall apart the longer I keep it. I would like to see if I can get someone to advocate for me on the issies that I am having with the honda dealership/corporation. I was on my way home from work three days ago, and I could not get my car to shift into reverse, I released the shift button and it popped out onto my floorboard. Honda now says they will not cover the full cost of repair. My recall that I was supposed to have done about my motor leaking gas into the oil was never repaired and they are telling me that even though I got the notice in the mail, my vehicle shows does not need repaired. Please help me. I have never felt so helpless and they tell me I was never sent a recall notice, when I have it in my hand.

I own a 2017 honda cr-v 1.5 turbo fwd and my vehicle is suffering from the affects of 'oil dilution.' I regularly have my oil changed by honda, but I noticed, upon returning from a long trip in northern inidiana over winter, a strong odor of gasoline when checking my oil-dipstick and the volume was much higher than expected. When I brought my vehicle to honda, I was advised that honda was aware of a problem for all 2017-2018 cr-v 1.5 turbos with residual gas dripping into the cylinders and eventually the oil crank-case, called 'oil dilution'. I asked the honda technician to check for gasoline in my oil, but they said no such test was available. He advised me that no fix currently exists, aside from more frequent oil changes. I then followed up with the lead technician at my dealer to resolve the safety concern, but I was verbally told that honda does not intend to address the issue unless litigation is mandated. I believe this problem posses a major safety concern as these vehicles age and the risk of engine seizure or explosion increase. Honda north america's position is that since there are so few 2017 cr-vs with turbo on the road, they do not see a reason to act. There is a fundamental problem with this honda turbo fuel injection system, which was fixed for the 2019 models. A software patch is being issued by honda canada, but this is not offered in southern states and honda refuses to comment on the long term impact and degraded performance. I am deeply concerned for the safety of my family and fellow drivers.

Fuel is leaking down into the oil pan raising the oil levels on the dip stick as mileage increases, which will result in premature potential engine failure. This is also going to hurt the resale value of the vehicle. For example, 2k miles after last oil change, oil levels have increased to a quarter inch above recommended "full level" displayed on the dipstick.

I have smelled gasoline three times recently when driving. I called the honda headquarters. They told me this problem is something they are working on. There is no fix for it at this time. They claim gas leaks into the oil filter which can affect the engine. I am concerned about my safety snd a possible engine problem. I have received no satisfaction. In addition I have had two other major problems in the short time I am driving my car. My battery needed to be replaced 7 months after I drove out of the dealership I was parked in a parking lot when my battery died. Recently the gear shift knob broke off when it was in drive and I was not able to shift gears. I was dropping off a passenger. It was replaced.
