What is wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 ridgeline vehicles manufactured from august 25, 2011, through november 29, 2011. The spare tire installed in affected vehicles may not match the information on the vehicles tire information placard. Therefore, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, tire selection and rims for motor vehicle.
The risk
An incorrect label could lead to improper tire inflation which could result in a tire failure, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the spare tire and if necessary, exchange the spare tire assembly or replace the tire information placard free of charge. The safety recall began on february 10, 2012. Owners may contact honda at 1-[removed].
