## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain 2017 CR\-V and Acura RDX vehicles.  The Certification Labels on the affected vehicles were printed with ink that may be inadvertently wiped away with an alcohol solvent.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."


## What can happen

If the label information can be wiped away, the operator may not be able to refer to the information, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Honda and Acura will notify owners, and dealers will replace the Certification Label, free of charge.  The recall began June 2017.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's numbers for this recall are KF3 \(CR\-V\)and KF4 \(RDX\).


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
