I have just acquired a 2008 CRV (petrol, right hand drive) and regualrly notice smell of hot/burning rubber from the rear off side wheel area. It happens on short journeys as well as long, but not every time, and happens whether 4 wheel drive has been engaged or not. It does not appear to be brake related. Any ideas?
Hi there! Check out this link.

this link will take you to a forum full of people with CRV's who are having the exact same problem. It seems to be with almost every year of the CRV as well. Unfortunately Honda has no explanation or solution for this problem. I have a 2009 CRV and have not had this smell, but I have been having a ton of other problems with it. I have been incredibly dissapointed with this car, and will never get another Honda. I hope you have better luck than I, and be careful with it cause I think there are some serious problems with these CRV's. Good Luck!
