Honda is recalling 10,050 2020 Pilot and Passport SUVs because solvent can wipe required GAWR and GVWR information from the certification label.

What's wrong?
The certification label on 2020 Honda Pilot and Passport vehicles is the factory sticker that lists required weight information for the vehicle. It includes GAWR, the maximum weight allowed on each axle, and GVWR, the maximum total loaded weight for the SUV. Owners, inspectors, and service departments use that label to confirm the vehicle is not loaded beyond its certified limits.
On these vehicles, the label was printed with the wrong printer ribbon. The ink does not hold up correctly when exposed to solvent, so the printed text can smear or wipe away. If the GAWR or GVWR information disappears, the vehicle no longer carries the weight-rating information Honda certified at the factory.
There is no warning sign before failure. The issue is visible only if the label is checked after solvent exposure, and the problem is missing or unreadable weight-rating text rather than a change in how the SUV drives.
Who's affected?
Pilot and Passport SUVs share the same vehicle label issue in this recall.
| 2020 Honda Pilot | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2020 Honda Passport | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 10,050 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching 2020 Honda Pilot or Passport does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
Without the correct certification label, an owner or service shop lacks the loading information needed to stay within weight limits. If your VIN is included, avoid guessing at load limits before carrying heavy cargo or towing, and schedule the label replacement. Overloading the Pilot or Passport increases the risk of a crash. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2020 Honda Pilot or Passport is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free certification-label replacement that restores the GAWR and GVWR information.
- Bring the recall notice if you received one, and reference recall number 20V067 when you call.
- Avoid loading the vehicle above the rating limits until the new label is installed; ask the dealer to verify the correct GAWR and GVWR if you need to tow or carry heavy cargo before repair.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician replaces the certification label on the affected 2020 Pilot or Passport. The recall repair is free, including the replacement label and labor. The label carries the Gross Axle Weight Rating and Gross Vehicle Weight Rating information, so the repair restores the required weight-rating information on the vehicle. Out-of-pocket label repairs already paid are handled through the existing new vehicle limited warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because Honda says that warranty would have provided the repair at no cost. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 20V067?
Recall 20V067 covers 10,050 2020 Honda Pilot and Passport vehicles with certification labels that can lose printed GAWR and GVWR information if wiped with solvent. Without that weight-rating information, an overloaded vehicle increases crash risk. Honda dealers replace the certification label for free.
What should I do if my 2020 Honda Pilot or Passport is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific vehicle is included in recall 20V067. If it is, contact a franchised Honda dealer and ask for the free certification-label replacement. Reference Honda recall number B6T when you call the service desk.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to repair the defect at no cost, and Honda's remedy states that dealers replace the certification label free of charge. The repair is available through franchised Honda dealers.
What is the safety risk in recall 20V067?
The risk is vehicle overloading. The certification label contains GAWR and GVWR information, which tells an owner or service shop the safe axle and total vehicle weight limits. If that information is gone, the vehicle can be overloaded, increasing crash risk.
What if I bought my Honda Pilot or Passport used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the original owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your 2020 Honda Pilot or Passport is included, then call a franchised Honda dealer and reference recall 20V067 or Honda recall number B6T.
