About Used Honda CR-V Parts
The CR-V is one of America's best-selling crossovers, so used engines, CVTs and AWD driveline parts are easy to find — but the right part depends on which generation you have and whether it's the 2.4 non-turbo or the 1.5 turbo. The dividing line is the 2017 fifth generation, which introduced the 1.5T and the CVT.
Generations & fitment boundaries
The generation and platform decide whether a used part interchanges. Match yours before you request a quote.
- 2012–2016 (4th gen) — 2.4L K24 four with a 5-speed automatic. Geared automatic, not a CVT.
- 2017–2022 (5th gen) — 1.5L turbo (higher trims) or 2.4L K24 (base LX), both with a CVT; a hybrid arrived in this generation. Hard boundary vs the 4th gen.
- 2023–present (6th gen) — 1.5L turbo (plus a hybrid); current generation. Confirm the code before crossing 2022→2023.
Engines & transmissions — how to tell them apart
4th gen (2012–2016): a single engine — the 2.4L K24 four — paired with a 5-speed automatic. This is a conventional geared automatic, not a CVT, so a 4th-gen transmission and a 5th-gen CVT are not interchangeable.
5th gen (2017–2022) split by trim: the base LX kept the 2.4L K24, while EX and up moved to the 1.5L turbo — both driving a CVT. A used engine only fits if the code matches your trim's engine, and the 2.4 and 1.5T share almost nothing (mounts, accessories, wiring). The 6th gen (2023+) carries the 1.5T forward.
Driveline: the CR-V is sold in front-wheel-drive and Honda's Real Time AWD versions. The AWD car adds a rear driveline the FWD car doesn't have, and the transaxle output differs, so match FWD/AWD when buying a transmission or a complete engine-and-trans assembly — not just the engine and year.
Known issues that drive used-part demand
- 1.5T (L15B7) oil dilution in cold climates: on short cold-weather trips, fuel can dilute the oil. Honda extended the warranty to 6 years / unlimited miles on affected 2017–2018 CR-V 1.5T cars for the oil-dilution issue, with a software update to warm the engine faster — check eligibility by VIN. Check oil-level history and confirm the update before buying a used 1.5T long block.
- 2.4 vs 1.5T within the 5th gen: the base LX runs the 2.4 K24 and higher trims the 1.5T — ordering by 'CR-V + year' alone will get you the wrong engine. Confirm the code.
- Geared automatic vs CVT across the 2016→2017 line: the 4th-gen 5-speed automatic and the 5th-gen CVT are different units — match the type your CR-V was built with. Have transmission faults diagnosed by a mechanic.
Safety- and emissions-related parts should be diagnosed and installed by a licensed mechanic.
Most-requested used CR-V parts
Match a CR-V engine by the code stamped on the block plus the 8th VIN digit and model year, and tell us FWD or AWD. If you replace the PCM/ECU, Honda's immobilizer means it must be programmed to your VIN and re-synced to your keys with an HDS tool or it won't start. Send the full VIN and note engine (2.4 or 1.5T) and driveline, and we'll match the right generation.

Used Honda CR-V Parts — FAQ
Does my CR-V have the 2.4 or the 1.5 turbo?
4th-gen CR-Vs (2012–2016) all use the 2.4L K24. On the 5th gen (2017–2022) the base LX kept the 2.4 while EX and up got the 1.5T. Read the engine code off the block and confirm the VIN before ordering.
Is the CR-V 1.5T oil-dilution issue a problem in cold climates?
It's most reported on short cold-weather trips, where fuel can dilute the oil. Honda extended the warranty to 6 years / unlimited miles on affected 2017–2018 CR-V 1.5T cars for the oil-dilution issue, with a software update to warm the engine faster — check eligibility by VIN. Check oil history and confirm the update on any used 1.5T.
Can I use a FWD transmission in my AWD CR-V?
No. The CR-V comes in FWD and Real Time AWD versions, and the AWD car has a rear driveline and different transaxle output the FWD car lacks. Match the driveline, not just the engine and year.
Does a 2015 or 2016 CR-V have a 5-speed automatic or a CVT?
A CVT. EPA lists the 2014 CR-V with a 5-speed automatic and both the 2015 and the 2016 CR-V with a variable-ratio transmission, so Honda switched transmission type inside that generation. The 2012-2016 run is not one pool: a 2015 or 2016 CVT will not replace the earlier 5-speed automatic, and ordering by year alone gets the wrong unit.
Can I put a 2.4 engine in a 2020 CR-V?
No. EPA lists the 2020 CR-V only as a 1.5 turbo plus a 2.0 hybrid, while the 2019 CR-V was still offered with both the 2.4 and the 1.5 turbo. The 2.4 left the gas lineup after 2019, and the two engines differ in mounts, accessories and wiring, so a 2020 or newer car takes a 1.5 turbo long block. Send the VIN with your quote request.
Does the CR-V Hybrid use the same engine and transmission as a 1.5T?
No. EPA lists the 2020 CR-V Hybrid as a 2.0-liter four with a variable-ratio transmission and all-wheel drive, while the gas CR-V that year is a 1.5 turbo. The hybrid engine and drive unit are their own parts pool, so a 1.5T engine or CVT is not a substitute, and high-voltage hybrid work belongs with a qualified technician.
Is the 2017-2018 CR-V steering recall a problem when buying used parts?
It can be. NHTSA campaign 18V663000 covers 2017-2018 Civics and CR-Vs whose electric power steering torque-sensor magnet may not be properly secured. If it comes loose, a full-lock turn can apply steering assist in the opposite direction. Dealers replace the steering gearbox free of charge, so check the recall status on your car and on any donor before sourcing a used steering part.
