BACKGROUND

On certain 2020 Passport and Pilot vehicles built between November 2019 and January 2020, due to a printing error, the ink on the certification label may rub off when wiping it with alcohol, gasoline, kerosene, engine oil, window cleaner, wax or any other household cleaners. If the label information can be wiped away, the operator may not be able to refer to it, possibly resulting in the vehicle being overloaded, which can increase the risk of a crash.

 

CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION

Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign.

Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.

Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new or used vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.

Failure to repair a vehicle subject to a recall or campaign may subject your dealership to claims or lawsuits from the customer or anyone else harmed as a result of such failure. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this safety recall, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.

 

CORRECTIVE ACTION

Replace the certification label.

 

PARTS INFORMATION

VIN-specific replacement labels have been shipped, “Attn: Service Manager”, directly from the factory to your dealership and once received they need to be reviewed against your vehicle inventory or the list of vehicles assigned. Should a label become lost at any time, the DPSM must be notified immediately for support of reprint from the factory. If a vehicle has already been sold, the dealer must contact the customer and schedule an appointment for replacement of the vehicle’s label as soon as possible. Any unused or damaged replacement labels must be returned to the DPSM.

  2. Apply the new certification label in the same location as the old label. Make sure the label is applied in the same orientation as the removed label.
