Does the 2014 Honda CR-V have a timing belt or chain?

All trim levels of the 2014 Honda CR-V use the same 2.4L 4Cylinder engine, which is driven by a timing chain. Though there are advantages and disadvantages to this, most automotive experts agree that it's better to have a chain. The big reason is that You can typically expect timing chains to last for around 250,000 to 300,000 miles -- barring extenuating circumstances of failure. Contrast this to timing belts, which should be changed every 60,000 to 100,000 miles. One chain could potentially last You as long as five timing belts. However, it's much more expensive to swap a timing chain, if it does happen to become damaged -- including labor, the replacement could rack up a bill as high as $3,000.
