Consumer Description

4/22/2025, my Honda HRV 2017 is parked and locked. The front/rear head lights will come on after the car is locked for 45 second and around 5 seconds after the lights came on it will sound off the alarm. The next day i took it to Honda to do diagnostic and they told me is the Body Control Module(BCM) issue. It will cause $1,350 +tax to replace it. It is pricey but it seems odds an eight years old car barely 45k miles with good taken care that a module so easy to went bad. Also all services(transmission oil, synthetic oil change, brake fluid, etc...) are done at the dealership nothing being done outside. I also found online there are some amount people complain about the same issue and same model year/model. One with the highest quote of $1,800+ to replace the BCM. I don't see any recall on this 2017 Honda HRV related to the BCM. But there is a related to BCM for 2018-2020 Accord, Accord hybrid, & Insight. The year of recall very close and there are some amount people complains about the BCM for Honda HRV 2017. Could have they used the similar BCM for HRV then follow through to the later year that for Honda Accord/Insight and got the recall? Could the HRV model be in the recall as well? It is just vert odd a good taken care car with low miles that the module so easy went out.
