What is the reason for the clicking sound when stepping on the brake of the 2021 CR-V?

It is possible that the brake pad surface material is too hard, and it can be removed and polished for treatment. The following is a related introduction to the Honda CR-V: 1. Exterior colors: The new car offers six exterior color options: Pearl White, Sunset Red, Golden Yellow, Amber Brown, Jade Black, and Crystal Black. 2. Interior colors: The interior provides three color schemes: all-black, black with brown, and black with beige. 3. Engine types: The Honda CR-V is equipped with two types of engines, one is a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the other is a 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine. Models equipped with the 2.0-liter naturally aspirated engine also come with an electric motor, making it a hybrid model.
I also experienced a clicking sound when braking in my 2021 CR-V, which was quite unsettling. Later, I found out the cause might be the ABS system activating. When you brake hard or on slippery roads, the ABS prevents wheel lock-up and produces this sound, similar to a small clicking noise; or it could be the friction between the brake discs and pads, especially noticeable during the first brake application after a cold start. Additionally, loose brake calipers or connecting rods might also be the culprit. I recommend observing the conditions under which the sound occurs: if it only happens during emergency braking, it's likely normal. However, if it occurs every time you brake, you should check the brake pad wear or visit a dealership to scan for fault codes. Remember to regularly maintain your brake system—replacing old components can reduce the risk of unusual noises.
