Vehicles Affected: Approximately 1,400 model-year 2017 Honda CR-V and Acura RDX SUVs
The Problem: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration certification labels were printed with ink that may be inadvertently wiped away with an alcohol solvent. If this happens, occupants may not be able to refer to the information, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the certification label for free.
What Owners Should Do: Honda, which also manufactures Acura vehicles, told Cars.com it will begin notifying owners in early June. Owners can call Honda at 888-234-2138, NHTSA’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
