BACKGROUND
Emission certification labels that were replaced on a small number of vehicles may have been
replaced with a label listing incorrect information. The affected emission labels are replacement
service parts, and were not installed at the factory; they were installed during postmanufacturing repairs that required replacement of the underlying part. This will cause the
vehicle to be non-compliant with emissions regulations.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification and a label for 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 used vehicle inventory.

• If the replacement label has been lost or damaged, a new vehicle emission information label
must be ordered. On the iN refer to Parts > Parts Library > Parts System Guide > Ordering >
Special Ordering Programs and Procedures > Controlled Parts and Emission Labels. A part
number is not required as the system will assign the correct part number based on the VIN.
• If you need to order a label, have the service advisor inform the customer that they will need
to return to the dealer once the replacement label arrives.
1. Clean the existing label with alcohol or mild detergent and a clean shop towel.
2. Peel off the backing from the new label and apply it over the existing label.
NOTES
• Make sure the surface is clean and dry before applying the new label.
• To avoid tearing the label, do not reposition it once you begin to apply it.
• Apply the label slowly, from one end to the other.
• To avoid wrinkles in the label, press it down firmly once it is applied.
