NHTSA Complaint #11140396 — 2018 HONDA CR-V

I HEARD ABOUT GASOLINE GETTING INTO ENGINE OIL ON SOME 2017 AND 2018 HONDA CR-VS WITH 1.5 LITER TURBO ENGINES, SO STARTED MONITORING MINE. I NOTED A GASOLINE ODOR ON THE OIL DIPSTICK, AND THE OIL LEVEL WAS SLOWLY INCREASING ABOVE THE FULL MARK. I TOOK THE CAR INTO MY HONDA DEALER ON 10/8/18 AND ASKED IF THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY HAD NOT. SHOWED THE SERVICE MANAGER MY CAR, AND HE STATED THAT THE GASOLINE ODOR IN THE OIL AND THE RISING OIL LEVEL WERE NOT NORMAL. I ALSO TOLD HIM I SOMETIMES SMELL A GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CABIN FOR A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING THE CAR. HE RECOMMENDED AN IMMEDIATE OIL CHANGE, WHICH WAS DONE THAT SAME DAY. HE SAID HE WOULD NOTIFY HONDA ABOUT MY PROBLEM AND WOULD ADVISE ME WHEN A FIX IS AVAILABLE. SO FAR I HAVE HAD NO DRIVABILITY ISSUES.
