What Happened
Your vehicle's owner's manual has some incorrect contact info for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's (NHTSA) safety hotline. This is in the 'Reporting Safety Defects' section.
Risk if Unfixed
The incorrect info in your owner's manual doesn't meet current safety standards, but it's unlikely to cause a direct safety issue.
Free Fix
Honda will send you a postcard with the correct NHTSA hotline number. You should insert this into your owner's manual, and it's free. You should look for the postcard and update your manual as soon as you receive it.
