Honda HR-V: Parts Marking (KA/KC Models)
To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle
identification number (VIN). Original parts have self-adhesive labels.
Replacement body parts have generic self-adhesive
labels. These labels should not be removed. The original engine or transmission
VIN plates are not transferable to the replacement engine or transmission.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage the parts' marking labels during body
repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.
