Let me know if you had the clutch replaced per the bulletin or just the differential fluid. I am seriously going back and asking for the clutch to be replaced as I am sensing beginning of shaking after 5Km from the service of differential fluid flush. Has Honda created a LEMON here? For my second car, I purchased Toyota as I was not impressed with Honda on these issues that my wife drives.

I have a 2007 CRV, 10100 miles on it, and I too experienced the grinding/groaning noise when turning my steering wheel while in reverse. I took it into my dealer today in fact, and they said it was a rear differential problem. They replaced the fluid and upon test driving it, they said they could still hear the noise and needed to order the rear differential part and will replace it. My concern too is if this is a known issue, why doesnt Honda issue a recall on it???? Hopefully, my problem will be fixed upon replacement of the part.

Hopefully, my problem will be fixed upon replacement of the part. The dealer needs to train mechanics better. Honda recomends 3 consequtive fluid changes (with 10 mile drives in between) to resolve the differential problem. If that does not help, then parts can be replaced.

MY WIFE DRIVES A 2007 HONDA CRV AWD EX. AROUND THE 9,000 MILE MARK WE STARTED NOTICING A DRAGGING OR GRINDING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE WHILE STEARING IN REVERSE. THE SOUND BECAME PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. SOON WE BEGAN TO NOTICE A WIRRING SOUND COMING FROM THE REAR AS THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING FORWARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE LOCAL HONDA STORE FOR INSPECTION. AFTER THE INSPECTION WAS DONE THE VERDICT WAS THAT NOTHING COULD BE FOUND WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. BEING THIS IS THE ONLY ALL WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WE'VE EVER OWNED WE ASSUMED IT WAS NORMAL. WEEKS PAST AND THE SOUND GOT PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. TODAY I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER, NOW WITH CLOSE TO 13,000 MILES ON IT, AND I AM TOLD THAT THE DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE PART IS CURRENTLY BACKORDERED. THERE IS NO DEFFINATE DATE AS TO WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE. DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS BACKORDERED, I WOULD IMAGINE THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. HONDA MUST BE GOING THROUGH ALOT OF DIFFERENTIAL CLUTCHES TO BE RUNNING OUT OF THEM. I HAVE ALOT OF CONFIDENCE IN HONDA, HECK I WORK FOR A HONDA MOTORCYCLE DEALER. I ALSO OWN A 2007 HONDA CIVIC. MY CIVIC'S AIRCONDITIONER'S COMPRESSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ONLY AFTER 8,000 MILES. BUT THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE. WHAT HAPPENED HONDA?
