Reading the numbers
Across the 30 model years of the Honda CR-V in this data, 2000 draws comparatively few complaints; 2018 is the outlier year.
Filings have fallen off, 5 in the last three years against 38 in the three before. That is normal as a generation leaves the road.
The median odometer reading at the time of complaint was 96,000 miles.

The required parts have been unavailable for over a year. I cannot register/inspect my car without this repair. I am being told my apartment complex will to my vehicle if it remains uninspected. I am a single mom of a young child on total disability and I need my car. I spent every dollar I had buying this car 2 yrs ago. Air bags
I received a recall on my auto that the air bag may not deploy fully and injure the driver! I called Honda when I received the letter (march 2020) and they said call back in a month. Today I called and they said it would probably be five months before they would have the part! Not acceptable! Air bags
