Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Honda is recalling certain 2011-2012 Ridgeline vehicles manufactured between August 25, 2011, and November 29, 2011. The spare tire installed in these vehicles may not match the tire information shown on the vehicle's placard, which could lead to improper tire inflation if owners follow the incorrect placard information. Improper tire inflation increases the risk of tire failure and crashes.

Honda dealers will inspect the spare tire and, if necessary, either exchange the spare tire assembly or replace the tire information placard at no charge. Affected owners will be notified by Honda. Owners of potentially affected vehicles can contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
