Is head gasket risk too high to buy a 2026 Hybrid?

My paid-off car officially died a few days ago. So, I’m in the market for a new vehicle.

I am 95% decided on going with a 2026 CRV Hybrid, but the continuing head gasket issues seem to be very serious. I’m actually surprised it’s not a recall at this point (or at a minimum fixing the issues with newer models).

Is it even worth the risk? It genuinely seems like you almost want the issue to arise sooner rather than later so that it can still be covered under warranty.
