Details

What's wrong: The spare tire installed in affected vehicles may not match the information on the vehicleâs tire information placard. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 110, âtire selection and rims for motor vehicle.â

Why it matters: An incorrect label could lead to improper tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the spare tire and if necessary, exchange the spare tire assembly or replace the tire information placard free of charge. The safety recall began on February 10, 2012.
