Parts for your 2018 Honda Cr-v-Brake shoes

2018 Honda CR‑V brake shoes — are they used?

Short answer: brake shoes aren’t used on a 2018 Honda CR‑V. Honda equipped this generation with four‑wheel disc brakes and an electronic parking brake (EPB) built into the rear calipers, so there’s no drum or “drum‑in‑hat” parking brake mechanism that would require shoes.

Technical sources backing this up include the factory materials for the model:

• Honda CR‑V (2017–2019) Service Manual – Brakes: rear brakes are single‑piston disc calipers with an EPB motor on each caliper, using pads, not shoes.
• 2018 CR‑V Owner’s Manual – Electronic Parking Brake: describes the EPB operation via a switch, no drum‑type parking brake hardware.
• Honda Genuine Parts/EPC (2018 CR‑V) – Rear Brake: parts listing shows pads, caliper with EPB actuator, and a solid rear rotor
