Plain-English summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2012 CR-V vehicles equipped with the LX trim level. The affected vehicles were manufactured between August 30, 2012, and August 31, 2012. A total of 264 vehicles are included in this recall campaign.
The recall is issued because these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification." Specifically, the safety certification labels on these vehicles specify incorrect values for the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Axle Weight Rating (front and rear), tire size, and rim size.
A misprinted label could lead to improper vehicle loading. Improper loading could result in a tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will apply the corrective label free of charge. The safety recall began on November 14, 2012. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
