Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2016 HR-V vehicles manufactured between January 12, 2015, and May 20, 2015. The affected vehicles may be missing the required tire placard that indicates "Tire and Loading Information." This condition causes the vehicles to fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 110.

If the tire placard is missing, the driver or owner may not know the correct pressure to inflate the tires. This can result in over or under tire inflation, which potentially increases the risk of a tire failure and crash.

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle and apply a new label free of charge. The recall began on September 18, 2015. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
