Parts for your 2022 Honda Cr-v-Pedal pads

2022 Honda CR‑V pedal pads — what they do and when to replace them

Pedal pads are absolutely relevant to the 2022 Honda CR‑V. Technical references confirm a serviceable rubber brake pedal pad is fitted: Honda’s parts catalogue for the 2017–2022 CR‑V (RW/RT) lists a “Pad, Brake Pedal,” and Honda service information depicts the brake pedal with a replaceable rubber cover. The owner’s manual for the 2022 CR‑V also specifies an Electronic Parking Brake (so there’s no parking brake pedal), and AU/NZ 2022 models are CVT-only, so there is no clutch pedal pad. The accelerator pedal surface is integrated into the pedal assembly rather than being a separate pad.

On the CR‑V, the brake pedal pad is the grippy rubber cover owners feel underfoot. Its whole job is traction and feel: a textured, replaceable rubber face that helps stop a wet or muddy shoe from slipping at that critical moment. Over time, heat, UV, dirt, and everyday use harden and polish the rubber, which reduces grip.

As part of regular servicing, it’s smart for owners or their technician to give the brake pedal pad a quick once‑over. If it looks shiny, feels hard, has cracks, is thinning at the edges, or is contaminated by oil or coolant, it’s time to swap it. It’s an inexpensive part and a quick fit, and a worn pad can be flagged at a Warrant of Fitness (NZ) or roadworthy inspection (AU) if it’s missing or no longer non‑slip.

Replacement is straightforward: the old pad slips off the metal pedal plate, the new one stretches over and locates in the lip. Always use a correct‑fit pad for the 2017–2022 CR‑V (RW/RT) brake pedal—genuine or quality equivalent—so it seats properly and doesn’t walk off underfoot. While there, check the metal pedal face for rust or burrs and clean it so the new pad sits flat.

Keeping it clean helps it last. A mild soap solution and a soft brush will lift out grit from the tread, avoid silicone dressings or greasy cleaners that make the rubber slippery. Also steer clear of universal alloy/bolt‑on pedal covers, Honda cautions against add‑on covers that can interfere with pedal operation, and they can create compliance headaches.

• Replace the brake pedal pad if it’s slippery, cracked, or missing tread blocks.
• Inspect at every service or at least annually, replacement cycles vary with use.
• If fluid has soaked into the pad, replace it rather than trying to clean it.

Popular questions about 2022 Honda CR‑V pedal pads

Do both pedals on the 2022 CR‑V have replaceable pads?
No. The brake pedal has a replaceable rubber pad. The accelerator pedal has an integrated tread surface and is not designed for a separate pad. There’s no clutch on AU/NZ 2022 models, and the parking brake is electronic, so there’s no parking brake pedal pad.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed interval—it’s a condition‑based item. Check it at each service. If it’s glossy, hard, cracked, or feels slippery (especially when wet), replace it straight away. Many owners find they last several years, but heavy city driving or gritty worksites can wear them faster.

Is it safe to fit aftermarket metal or bolt‑on pedal covers?
Best avoided. Add‑on covers can reduce grip when wet, alter pedal feel, or foul on floor mats. Honda cautions against accessories that can affect pedal operation, and non‑slip condition is checked during WOF/RWC inspections. A correct‑fit rubber brake pedal pad is the safer choice.
