- Lack of maintenance: AWD system failure can occur if the system is not properly maintained, such as not changing the oil or transmission fluid regularly, or not inspecting the system for wear or damage.
- Component failure: The AWD system comprises several components, such as the transfer case, differentials, driveshafts, and axles, which can fail due to wear and tear, or due to damage caused by accidents or extreme use.
- Electrical issues: The AWD system is controlled by an electronic control unit (ECU) that can experience electrical problems, such as sensor malfunctions, wiring issues, or ECU failure.
- Software problems: The AWD system is also controlled by software, which can develop glitches or bugs, leading to system malfunctions or failure.
- Environmental factors: Operating the Honda CR-V in harsh conditions, such as extreme temperatures or mud and water, can also contribute to AWD system failure, especially if the system is not designed or protected for such environments.
