EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2020 Passport and Pilot vehicles. The certification label may have been printed with ink that can be wiped away with a solvent, removing the Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) information.
- What it can cause
- If the operator is unable to refer to the label information, the vehicle may be overloaded, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the certification label, free of charge. The recall began March 24, 2020. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is B6T.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 10,050 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 79% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2020, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2020, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 12 times before this, most recently in September 2019 as 19V694000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 574 complaints with NHTSA, 3 of them before this campaign was filed. 9 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 9 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 24V064000 (air bags), 23V858000 (fuel system, gasoline).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on February 6, 2020 as campaign 20V067000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
