This 2013 Honda CR-V makes use of a timing chain, not a belt. A timing chain is designed to last the entire operational life span of the vehicle, so assuming all goes well then You should not need to bother with it. That said it can still be damaged and in some cases fail. If this happens You will notice that the car will almost immediately overheat. If You need to replace it then it will cost You about 100 dollars for the new part, and another 100 for the labor. Be cautious when buying a chain online. Some retailers will refer to both a timing chain and a timing belt as a cam belt. A timing belt will not work, and You may end up stuck with a useless part.

I have a 2013 Honda CR-V Touring. I had to replace the Upper timing chain (there’s 2 chains in the chain case, the lower drives only the oil pump, the Upper does the rest) I found out that this is a Common replacement EVERY 150000kms no matter what, I inquired with the Local Honda Dealership an they confirmed that this known issue.

From 2013-2017 honda crv, the four-cylinder models still have a timing chain and the v6 models still have a timing belt. Starting with the 2018 model year, all available engines have a timing belt.
