2011 Honda CR-V: engine and transmission complaints
NO ELEVATED SIGNAL
22%
54 of 250 relevant owner complaints are about the engine, transmission or fuel system
No elevated drivetrain complaint concentration in the available NHTSA records for the 2011 Honda CR-V. Engine, transmission and fuel system account for 22% of relevant complaints.
Better than 84% of the 1,230 model years we track (2010–2023).
Excludes 302 airbag, lighting and seat-belt recall complaints that would otherwise mask the signal (unadjusted: 10%).
Manufacturers fix things mid-generation. A bad year next to a clean one is common; the fix usually arrived in between.

This does not say whether a particular car has an open, unrepaired recall. That depends on the VIN.
Before you buy a 2011 Honda CR-V
No elevated drivetrain pattern for this model year. That describes the model, not the car in front of you.
Get an independent pre-purchase inspection from a mechanic you choose.
13 recall campaigns on this model year. Whether a specific car still has one open depends on the VIN; the report checks that.
Ask for service records. A engine already replaced under warranty is a different car from one that was not.
