The short version
- A 2014 Honda CRV wheel bearing order at the rear is 512448 on FWD cars or 512501 on AWD cars, the whole span of the 2012-2016 generation.
- The front press-in bearing has no catalog number this generation at all.
- Front orders go by VIN through Honda’s own listings, or by matching the old part.
- Drivetrain is the only question at the rear, and it holds for all five years.
This CR-V generation only tells half the story in the catalogs. A 2014 Honda CRV wheel bearing rear order is a clean drivetrain question, but the front needs a different approach entirely.
2014 Honda CRV wheel bearing numbers
The rear hub is documented for the full 2012-2016 run, split only by drivetrain.
The front press-in bearing has no listed number. Order it through Honda’s own listings by VIN, or match the part already on the car.

This page covers the 2012-2016 Honda CR-V: 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016. Other years live on the main Honda CR-V wheel bearing page.
Unlike the rear, the front press-in bearing has no catalog row at all on the 2012-2016 CR-V. That is not a documentation gap by year, it applies across the whole run.
Order the front by VIN or by matching the old part rather than looking for a number that does not exist in the catalogs.
Year by year
2012 opens the generation with the rear split already in place, 512448 FWD and 512501 AWD.
2013 through 2016 change nothing at the rear. A 2014 Honda CRV wheel bearing order looks identical to one placed in 2012 or 2016.
The front stays undocumented across every year of the generation, with no catalog change to note.
How this generation fits the CR-V line
This fourth CR-V generation kept the drivetrain-based rear split first used on the 2007-2011 cars, covered on the 2007-2011 CR-V page, while dropping the front number from the catalogs entirely. That front gap is common on later generations of several models, not unique to Honda.
A rear hum on an AWD car can also come from the axle rather than the hub, a distinction explained on the axle bearing page.
Diagnosing a 2012-2016 Honda CR-V wheel bearing
- Confirm the drivetrain, FWD or AWD, before ordering the rear hub.
- Jack up the corner and rock the wheel at twelve and six o’clock, checking for play.
- Spin the wheel by hand and listen for grinding rather than a smooth roll, covered on the checking page.
- Pull the old front bearing and read any stamped number before ordering a front replacement.
- Drive at highway speed and note whether the noise builds, a sign covered on the noise page.
Common questions
What wheel bearing does a 2014 Honda CRV use?
The rear is 512448 on FWD or 512501 on AWD. The front has no catalog number, so order by VIN or match the old part.
What wheel bearing does a 2016 Honda CR-V use?
The same as the rest of the generation: 512448 rear FWD, 512501 rear AWD, front by VIN or match.
Why is there no front bearing part number?
The catalogs simply do not carry one for this generation’s front. A 2014 Honda CRV wheel bearing front order runs through Honda’s own listings by VIN, or by matching the old part.
Does the AWD rear differ from the FWD rear?
Yes. 512501 is the AWD number and 512448 is the FWD number, and they are not shared across drivetrains.
Did the rear number change at any point in this generation?
No. 512448 and 512501 cover all five years, 2012 through 2016, with no mid-generation change.
