What's wrong?
The safety certification label on the 2015 Acura Tlx is the factory label that lists the vehicle's official weight limits. It includes the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, or GVWR, and the front and rear Gross Axle Weight Ratings, or GAWR. Those ratings tell an owner, technician, or inspector how much total weight the vehicle and each axle are certified to carry.
On included Tlx AWD vehicles, the label was printed with incorrect GVWR and GAWR values. The vehicle itself is not described as having a broken mechanical part in this recall. The defect is that the label gives the wrong official loading information, so the vehicle does not match the required certification labeling.
There is no warning sign before failure. This is a label accuracy problem, not a part that starts making noise, leaking fluid, or changing how the vehicle drives.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific sedan is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrect certification label can lead an owner to load the vehicle according to incorrect information. If loaded to the listed specifications, tire failure can result and increase crash risk. Keep loads conservative and schedule the label correction when the dealer can complete it. Repair will be free at any franchised Acura dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Acura Tlx is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Acura dealer and ask whether the corrected certification-label repair is open for your VIN.
- Reference recall number 14V613 when you call, and ask the dealer to install the corrected GVWR and GAWR certification label free of charge.
- Bring the recall notice if Acura mailed one to you.
- Avoid loading the vehicle to the printed GVWR or GAWR limits until the corrected label is installed.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Acura technician installs a corrected safety certification label with the proper Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Rating values. The label is replaced at no charge under recall 14V613 once the dealer repair is available. The work is administrative rather than a mechanical parts repair: the technician verifies the vehicle label information and applies the corrected certification label so the vehicle's weight-rating information matches the recall remedy.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 14V613?
Recall 14V613 covers 189 2015 Acura Tlx AWD vehicles with incorrect Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and Gross Axle Weight Rating values printed on the safety certification label. If the vehicle is loaded to those incorrect specifications, tire failure can result and increase crash risk.
What should I do if my 2015 Acura Tlx is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific 2015 Acura Tlx is included in recall 14V613. If it is, contact a franchised Acura dealer and ask for the corrected certification label installation. Reference recall number 14V613 and Acura recall number JK6 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Acura dealers will install the corrected certification label free of charge. The recall remedy is the replacement label, not a paid inspection or customer-pay repair.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is tire failure from loading the vehicle to incorrect weight ratings on the certification label, which increases crash risk. Until Acura installs the corrected label, use the dealer repair path and avoid relying on the wrong label values for loading decisions.
