Parts for your 2017 Honda Cr-v-Pedal pads

2017 Honda CR‑V Pedal Pads

Based on Honda’s technical literature — including the 2017 CR‑V service manual brake section and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue — this model is fitted with a replaceable rubber brake pedal pad. In Australian and New Zealand market vehicles, there’s no clutch pedal pad because a manual transmission wasn’t offered, the accelerator pedal has an integrated plastic face and isn’t a separate “pad”. So, pedal pads are relevant for the brake pedal on the 2017 Honda CR‑V.

The brake pedal pad is a grippy rubber cover that slips over the metal pedal arm. Its job is simple but critical: give the driver consistent traction underfoot, wet or dry, and keep the pedal feel predictable. Over time, heat, UV, and everyday use harden the rubber, flatten the tread, and can cause glazing or cracks. Once that happens, shoes can slip — especially in wet weather — and braking confidence drops.

For a 2017 CR‑V, it’s smart to have the brake pedal pad checked at each service. In day‑to‑day ownership, this is a small, low‑cost item that punches well above its weight in safety.

• Inspection: every 10,000–15,000 km or 6–12 months, more often if the vehicle sees sandy beaches, farm use, or lots of wet gear.
• Replace when: the pad is shiny or hard, the pattern is worn smooth, there are splits, or the lip no longer holds securely to the pedal plate.
• Cleaning: a quick wipe with mild soapy water, then dry. Avoid silicone or petroleum dressings — they make the surface slippery and can degrade rubber.
• Fitment tips: seat the pad evenly around the metal pedal with the retention lip fully engaged on all sides. After fitting, press firmly and twist a shoe on the face to confirm grip.

Drivers considering aftermarket alloy or “sport” covers should note that overly slick or oversized overlays can affect pedal spacing and may not meet local roadworthy or WOF expectations. Keep the accelerator pedal as‑is, it’s a sensor module with no serviceable pad and shouldn’t wear a universal cover.

Because the brake pedal pad is inexpensive and straightforward to replace, most workshops will swap it during a service if wear is evident. It’s a tidy bit of preventative maintenance that helps keep the CR‑V safe and compliant on Aussie and Kiwi roads.

Popular questions about 2017 Honda CR‑V pedal pads

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed kilometre limit, but checking it at each service is the go. If the tread is flattened, the rubber has gone hard or shiny, or there are cracks, it’s time to replace. Many CR‑Vs will need a new pad somewhere between 40,000 and 100,000 km depending on footwear, climate, and use.

Can the accelerator pedal pad be replaced on this model?
No. The accelerator pedal on the 2017 CR‑V is a drive‑by‑wire assembly with an integrated plastic face, so there’s no separate rubber pad to swap. If the face is damaged, the fix is replacing the pedal assembly. Avoid universal clip‑on covers, as they can interfere with pedal travel and safety.

Could a worn brake pedal pad cause a WOF or roadworthy issue?
Yes, potentially. Inspectors look for secure, non‑slip pedal surfaces. A cracked, loose, or slippery brake pedal pad can attract a defect, especially if it compromises grip. Replacing the pad is quick and inexpensive, and helps keep the vehicle compliant.
