Capitalized terms used in this pricing supplement which are not defined in this pricing supplement and are defined in the accompanying

This pricing supplement does not contain complete information about the offering or terms of the Notes. No one may use this pricing
supplement to offer and sell the Notes unless it is accompanied or preceded by the prospectus supplement and the prospectus. We are

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
Your investment in the Notes involves risks. You should consult with your own financial and legal advisers as to the risks involved in an investment
in the Notes and to determine whether the Notes are a suitable investment for you. The Notes may not be a suitable investment for you if you are
unsophisticated with respect to the significant elements of the Notes or financial matters. You should carefully consider the risk factor discussed
below. In addition, certain factors that may adversely affect the business of AHFC are discussed in AHFC's most recent Annual Report on Form
10-K, and such risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, including subsequent Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
You should also consider any risk factors described in the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement and herein and any other
documents incorporated by reference into the accompanying prospectus and prospectus supplement and herein as set forth in "Incorporation of
Information Filed with the SEC" in the accompanying prospectus.
Increased regulatory oversight, uncertainty relating to the LIBOR calculation process and potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021 may
adversely affect the value of the 2021 Floating Rate Notes.
LIBOR is the subject of recent national and international regulatory guidance and proposals for reform. These reforms or actions by the British
Bankers' Association (the "BBA") in connection with the investigations into whether banks have been manipulating or attempting to manipulate
LIBOR, may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, or have other consequences which cannot be predicted. For example, on July 27,
2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/864270/000119312518043221/d474709d424b2.htm[2/14/2018 3:17:56 PM]

Pricing Supplement
Furthermore, in the United States, efforts to identify a set of alternative U.S. dollar reference interest rates include proposals by the Alternative
Reference Rates Committee sponsored by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. At this time, it is not possible to
predict the effect of any such changes, any establishment of alternative reference rates or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the
United Kingdom, in the United States or elsewhere. Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes, alternative reference rates, the
replacement or disappearance of LIBOR or other reforms may adversely affect the value of and the return on LIBOR-based securities, including the
2021 Floating Rate Notes.

remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of
redemption) discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the

remaining term of such Fixed Rate Notes.
"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (A) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for
such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (B) if the Calculation Agent obtains
fewer than five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations.

"Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as
determined by the Calculation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Calculation Agent by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third
Business Day preceding such redemption date.
"Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the
Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the
Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date.
Notice of any redemption will be mailed not more than 60 nor less than 30 days before the redemption date to each holder of Fixed Rate
Notes to be redeemed. Unless we default in payment of the redemption price, on and after the redemption date interest will cease to accrue on the
Fixed Rate Notes or portions thereof called for redemption.
Further Issues
We may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes create and issue additional notes having the same
ranking, interest rate, interest rate basis, number of basis points to be added to or subtracted from the related interest rate basis, maturity and other
terms as a particular tranche of Notes, as applicable, except for (1) the original issue date, (2) the issue price and (3) in some cases, the first interest
payment date. Additional notes will be considered part of the same series of notes as such Notes and any of our other Medium-Term Notes, Series
A previously issued or issued in the future. We also may from time to time, without notice to or the consent of the holders of the Notes, create and
issue additional debt securities, under the indenture or otherwise, ranking equally with the Notes and our other Medium-Term Notes, Series A.

MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAXATION
The following are certain material U.S. federal income tax consequences of ownership and disposition of the Notes. It does not purport to be
a complete analysis of all tax considerations relating to the Notes. Prospective purchasers of the Notes should consult their tax advisers as to the
consequences under the tax laws of the country of which they are resident for tax purposes and the tax laws of the United States of acquiring,
holding and disposing of the Notes and receiving payments under the Notes. This summary is based upon the law as in effect on the date of this
pricing supplement and is subject to any change in law that may take effect after such date.
The discussion below supplements and, to the extent inconsistent, replaces the discussion under "Material United States Federal Income
Taxation" beginning on page S-35 of the accompanying prospectus supplement, and is subject to the assumptions, limitations and exceptions set
forth therein. This discussion only applies to you if you are a U.S. holder, as that term is defined under "Material United States Federal Income
Taxation" on page S-36 of the accompanying prospectus supplement.
On December 22, 2017, The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "Act") was signed into law. The Act is complex and new (and it lacks
administrative guidance); thus, the impact of certain aspects of its provisions on us, or on you, is currently unclear.
Special Rules for Accrual Method Taxpayers
The Act modified the rules regarding the timing of income to be recognized by accrual method taxpayers. Under these modifications, if you
are an accrual method taxpayer, notwithstanding any discussion in the accompanying prospectus supplement, you may be required to include
stated interest, original issue discount, and other income on a Note no later than when the relevant item is taken into account as revenue in an
applicable financial statement (if any). These new rules will generally apply to stated interest and other income after December 31, 2017, but will
not apply to original issue discount until after December 31, 2018. You should consult your tax adviser concerning the application of these rules in
your particular situation.

The Notes will not have established trading markets when issued. The Underwriters may from time to time make a market in one or more

principal amount of the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes, as applicable. After the initial offering of the Notes to the public, Mizuho Securities USA LLC,
with respect to the 2021 Notes, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., with respect to the 2028 Fixed Rate Notes, on behalf of the Underwriters, may
change the public offering prices, concessions and reallowances of the Notes. The offering of the Notes by the Underwriters is subject to receipt
and acceptance and subject to the Underwriters' right to reject any order in whole or in part.
In connection with this offering, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC and SMBC
Nikko Securities America, Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the Notes.
These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the prices of the Notes. If the Underwriters
create a short position in a tranche of Notes in connection with this offering by selling more Notes of such tranche than they have purchased from
us, then the Underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing Notes of such tranche in the open market. In general, purchases of Notes for
the purpose of stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the prices of such Notes to be higher than in the absence of these purchases.
The Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. Neither we nor any of the
Underwriters make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have
on the prices of the Notes.
Under Rule 15c6-1 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle
in two business days, unless the parties to a trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes before February 13,
2018 will be required to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement.
We may enter into hedging transactions in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including forwards, futures, options, interest rate or
exchange rate swaps and repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions with, or arranged by, any of

PRIIPs Regulation / Prospectus Directive / Prohibition of sales to EEA retail investors - The Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or
otherwise made available to, and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to, any retail investor in the European Economic Area
("EEA"). For these purposes, (a) a "retail investor" means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article
4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive 2002/92/EC (the Insurance Mediation
Directive), as amended, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or
(iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive (as defined below); and (b) the expression "offer" includes the communication in
any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Notes to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to
purchase or subscribe for the Notes. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the
"PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and
therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs
Regulation.
This pricing supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Notes in any Member State of the EEA which has implemented the
Prospectus Directive (each, a "Relevant Member State") will only be made to a legal entity which is a qualified investor under the Prospectus
Directive ("Qualified Investors"). Accordingly any person making or intending to make an offer in that Relevant Member State of Notes which are
the subject of the offering contemplated in this pricing supplement may only do so with respect to Qualified Investors. Neither AHFC nor the
Underwriters have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of Notes other than to Qualified Investors. The expression
"Prospectus Directive" means Directive 2003/71/EC (as amended, including by Directive 2010/73/EU), and includes any relevant implementing
measure in the Relevant Member State.
The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment,
hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may
in the future perform, various financial advisory, investment banking, commercial banking and other services for AHFC and its subsidiaries, for
which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses. In addition, certain affiliates of the Underwriters are or have been lenders under
AHFC's and its subsidiaries' credit facilities and term loans, for which they have received or will receive fees under agreements they have entered
into with AHFC or its subsidiaries. Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, an affiliate of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., is the trustee under the
indenture governing the Notes.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of
investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their
own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of
AHFC or its subsidiaries. If any of the Underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with AHFC or its subsidiaries, certain of those
Underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those Underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to AHFC
or its subsidiaries consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these Underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such
exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in AHFC's or
its subsidiaries' securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect
future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations
and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to
clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
AHFC has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities. AHFC has also agreed to reimburse the
Underwriters for certain expenses.

Pricing Supplement
In the opinion of David Peim, as counsel to AHFC, when the Notes offered by this pricing supplement and accompanying prospectus
supplement and prospectus have been executed and issued by AHFC and authenticated by the trustee pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of
September 5, 2013, between AHFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of February 8, 2018, between AHFC and the Trustee (as supplemented, the "Indenture"), and delivered against
payment as contemplated herein, such Notes will be legally valid and binding obligations of AHFC, enforceable against AHFC in accordance with
their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights
generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity, including, without limitation, concepts of
materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief, regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to the present laws of the State of
California and the State of New York. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the Trustee's authorization, execution and
delivery of the Indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the enforceability of the Indenture with respect to the Trustee and other matters, all
as stated in the letter of such counsel dated August 10, 2016 and filed as Exhibit 5.1 to AHFC's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File
No. 333-213047) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 10, 2016.
