Honda is recalling 5 2017, 2020, 2022 Cr-V vehicles because the driver's door certification label lists incorrect weight ratings and tire size information. An owner relying on that label can select the wrong tire size, raising the risk of premature tread wear or a blowout, and Honda dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The certification label on the driver's side door is the small factory label that tells an owner or service technician the vehicle's weight ratings and the correct tire size. On the 2017, 2020, 2022 Honda Cr-V, that label is supposed to match the vehicle's actual Gross Vehicle Weight Rating, Gross Axle Weight Rating, and tire information. Those ratings help guide loading, tire selection, and service checks.
On affected Cr-V vehicles, the label was printed with the wrong information. Honda traced the problem to a backup label printer that was used after the primary certification label printer failed. The backup printer had not been reset and configured for the U.S. model, so it printed certification labels with incorrect vehicle information.
This issue is on the label, not a reported broken mechanical part. There is no warning sign before failure. The owner-facing clue is the label itself: the values on the driver's door label do not match the correct certification information for the vehicle.
Who's affected?
The listed Cr-V years are nonconsecutive: 2017, 2020, and 2022, all tied to the same vehicle label component.
| 2017 Honda Cr-V | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
|---|---|
| 2022 Honda Cr-V | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| 2020 Honda Cr-V | vehicle label (placard or certification) |
| Units affected | 5 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged no field incidents to date. |
A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific SUV is included.
What's the safety risk?
An incorrectly sized tire can wear too soon or blow out, increasing the risk of a crash. If your VIN is included, schedule the label repair soon so future tire replacements use the corrected tire information. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2017, 2020, or 2022 Honda Cr-V is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free corrected certification label installation that fixes the incorrect GVWR, GAWR, and tire size information.
- Bring the recall notice if Honda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 23V524 and Honda recall CF7 when you call.
- Verify tire size with a Honda dealer before replacing tires or loading the vehicle, since the old driver-side door label has incorrect weight-rating and tire-size information.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician installs a corrected certification label on the driver's side door so the vehicle shows the correct weight rating, axle weight rating, and tire size information. The label replacement and labor are free under the recall. If you already paid for this label repair, Honda's recall reimbursement plan covers eligible documented expenses. Bring receipts or repair paperwork to the service desk.
