#27 of 35 CRV manufactured in Mexico by rmitra

I bought a CRV EX over the weekend. Its VIN starts with 3CZ
 
I figure it is made in Mexico.
 
Most VIN decoder websites dont even list what CZ is about? May be a new manufacturing site in Mexico? I did read an article that indicated that the Ohio plant is shipping CDK (complete knockdown kits) to Mexico to be assembled there.
 
I was not mindful of that going in to buy the car but on looking online, people seem skeptical about this. I turned down the extended warranty.
 
I believe I can still enroll in one of the extended warranties as the vehicle nears its 3/36K limit.
 
Any cause for worry? It sort of put a damper on my excitement at owning a brand new vehicle.

this should not put any damper on your new car experience. it is still a honda and should have the usual honda quality.

so by now there should be some info regarding the crvs made in North America vs the reliability that we expect from the previous Japanese models.
 This is not hopefully going to effect the durability of HONDA. I hope to find some more information regarding this issue as I am looking at the CRV EXL and was a little surprised by the North American made tag.

khm, khm, Honda has been building cars in the US since 1982. You can tell by looking at the 1st digit in the VIN number. 1=US, 2=Canada, 3=Mexico?, J=Japan, S=UK.

#31 of 35 SOME CRVs MADE IN MEXICO! by 107main

I just looked at 2013 CRVs and one was made in Mexico. That is OK, but what is NOT, is that it was the exact same price as one made in the USA. Labor in Mexico is a fraction of US labor, so it should be much cheaper, in the Thousands of dollars. I will NOT buy a HONDA made in Mexico! Hope you wont either!

So, are you saying you will not buy a CR-V made in Mexico because you feel that if the CR-V's made in the USA are the same price as those made in Mexico, then the buyer is being over charged for the CR-V made in Mexico? My question to you is, do you know how much Honda is paying for the labor in Mexico or are you making an assumption that the labor is cheaper in Mexico strictly because that is the way it has normally been?

I still have the "sticker" page with details on my Honda CR-V which was purchased in October of 2012. It states that 65% of the parts were made in U.S./Canada; 20% in Japan & final assembly was done in El Salto, Jalisco, Mexico. Country of Origin: Japan; Transmission USA.

Hey. I think the media has influenced you a bit. I live near Guadalajara and the town where the CR-Vs are assembled. This is a beautiful city, with many affluent, well educated Mexican people. A lot of the kids go to technical school, near by, and are hired by the manufacturing plants. The plants are state of the art and the level of education and quality of the workers is high for a factory. There is a growing middle class, home owners with two children families with the same goals as you have. And many of them are loyal Honda owners! Two of my Mexican friends bought new CR-Vs this year! They are everywhere. Great cars, regardless of where they are made.
