What's wrong?
The tire placard on the 2016 Honda Hr-V is the label that gives the vehicle's tire and loading information. It tells an owner or service desk which tire setup and load limits apply to that exact vehicle. That label is part of the safety information Honda is required to install before the vehicle is sold.
On affected Hr-V vehicles, the problem is not a tire defect or a failed mechanical part. The required placard is absent from the vehicle, so the owner does not have the built-in reference for tire selection and load carrying capacity. Honda traced the recall group through manufacturing records and included the VIN range that covered vehicles with this labeling problem.
An owner can notice the issue by checking for the tire and loading label on the vehicle. There is no warning sign before failure.
Who's affected?
This listing includes both the vehicle-label and tire components for the same Hr-V recall.
| 2016 Honda Hr-V | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2016 Honda Hr-V | tire |
| Units affected | 11,511 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
Not every 2016 Honda Hr-V is on the list. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific crossover is included.
What's the safety risk?
A missing tire placard leaves the correct tire pressure unclear. Incorrect tire pressure can lead to overinflation or underinflation, increasing the risk of tire failure and a crash. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2016 Honda Hr-V is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free tire-placard inspection and label repair.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and reference recall number 15V472 when you call.
- Check tire pressure against the correct placard after the dealer applies it, then keep the tires inflated to Honda's listed pressure.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the 2016 Hr-V for the required Tire and Loading Information placard and applies a new label. The recall repair is available now, and parts and labor are covered. Honda has a general reimbursement plan on file. If you already paid for a related tire placard or label repair before the recall notice, bring documentation and ask the service desk to submit it under Honda's plan.
