2021 HONDA HR-V

Filed Oct 21, 2026


The instrument cluster display intermittently fails and blanks out while driving. When this happens, I completely lose access to critical safety information, including the speedometer, fuel gauge, and all vehicle warning lights. I cannot monitor my speed or know if a critical vehicle system is malfunctioning while actively operating the vehicle in traffic. This happened in the morning when it’s cold but it comes back up when it gets hotter.

This should be a mandatory safety recall as losing motive power while driving can easily cause an accident. There were no warning signs,…
