In colder weather, particularly below 30 degrees Fahrenheit, there may be a problem with the tailgate lock on your Honda CR-V becoming stuck. This may require the use of WD-40 to get it unstuck. Additionally, there could be issues with the rear latch mechanism not properly securing when closed, which is often caused by corrosion leading to latch failure. If you need to have this fixed at a dealership after the warranty expires, it usually costs around $40 for the part and approximately $135 for the labor.
Some issues have been reported with the Honda CRV tailgate, causing it not to close properly and resulting in the latch becoming stuck.
