Confirmed fixes sourced directly from the manufacturer.
The Vehicle:
2015 Honda CR-V
The Problem:
The vehicle is making a squeaking noise from the rear of the vehicle when pulling away. We suspect the rear differential to be at fault but are reluctant to replace the rear differential as it is an expensive part.
Other Applicable Vehicles:
CR-V models with four-wheel drive.
The Diagnosis:
The cause of the squeaking noise is due to an unsatisfactory design of the four-wheel drive coupling pump.
The Solution:
Fit a modified four-wheel drive coupling pump, located on the rear differential. Carry out road test to ensure the noise has been eliminated.
