Detailed Product Information

Dorman 912-210 is made for 1997-2001 Honda CR-V models with gray trim notes as listed in the fitment data. It is engineered to replace the original hood release cable when the factory cable is frayed, seized, or no longer pulls the hood latch correctly. The cable length and included handle support a straightforward replacement on the specified vehicle years, and the steel inner cable is paired with a plastic outer jacket for everyday underhood and cabin routing.

This part cross-references Honda (e.g., 74130S10A01ZA) for the same application. For buyers searching for a 1997 Honda CR-V hood release cable, 1998-2001 Honda CR-V hood latch cable, or Dorman 912-210 replacement cable, this part matches the listed fitment only.

Common Problems It Can Solve

• Broken hood release cable that will not pull the latch
• Frayed or stretched cable causing weak hood release action
• Sticking hood latch release due to cable wear
• Handle-to-latch connection failure from age or corrosion
• Difficulty opening the hood on a 1997-2001 Honda CR-V

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle year, make, model, and trim notes before ordering. Route the new cable along the original path to avoid binding, and confirm the hood latch moves freely before final assembly. Because this is a direct replacement cable, proper alignment at the handle and latch ends is important for smooth operation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures replacement parts to match the original function of the failed component. Part number 912-210 is built as a direct-fit replacement for the listed Honda CR-V applications and is intended to restore normal hood release operation when the original cable has failed.
