What this recall means for you
The vehicle's certification label may have garbled characters in the manufacturing date area. That can make it hard for an owner to confirm whether the car is covered by a safety recall, so an open recall could go unnoticed. The risk is that an unrepaired safety defect may lead to an injury or crash.
The remedy is free. Honda will notify affected owners, and an authorized dealer will replace the certification label at no charge. Owners can also contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 and reference recall number U23.
In the meantime, check your VIN for open recalls, and if your label looks unreadable, contact an authorized Honda dealer or Honda customer service to have it checked.
