It is important for you to read and consider all information contained in this pricing supplement and the accompanying prospectus

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amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including subsequent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. 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.

equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present values of the 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)
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/864270/000119312519007469/d682024d424b2.htm[1/14/2019 9:06:32 AM]

discounted to the redemption date on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 10 basis
points in the case of the 2021 Fixed Rate Notes and 15 basis points in the case of the 2024 Fixed Rate Notes, plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest
thereon to the date of redemption.
"Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to the Fixed Rate Notes to be redeemed, the United States Treasury security selected by an
Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of such Fixed Rate Notes that would be utilized, at the time of
selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a comparable maturity to 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.
"Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Calculation Agent after consultation with us.
"Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and a
primary U.S. Government securities dealer selected by SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., or their respective affiliates, and one other primary U.S.

"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;
provided, however, such additional notes must be fungible with the previously issued notes for U.S. federal income tax purposes. 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.
Book-Entry Notes and Form

424B2
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.
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 in many respects); thus, the impact of certain aspects of its provisions on us, or on you, is currently unclear.
Tax Consequences to U.S. Holders (as that term is defined under "Material United States Federal Income Taxation" on page S-36 of the accompanying
prospectus supplement)
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 certain 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 do not apply to original issue discount for taxable years beginning on or before December 31, 2018. You should consult
your tax adviser concerning the application of these rules in your particular situation.
Tax Consequences to Non-U.S. Holders (as that term is defined under "Material United States Federal Income Taxation" on page S-45 of the
accompanying prospectus supplement)
FATCA
Under legislation commonly referred to as "FATCA," a 30% withholding tax may be imposed on payments of interest on, or gross proceeds from the
sale or other disposition of, a note. Regulations proposed by the U.S. Treasury Department on December 18, 2018, however, indicate an intent to eliminate
the requirement under "FATCA" of withholding on payments of gross proceeds (other than amounts treated as interest). The U.S. Treasury Department has
indicated that taxpayers may rely on these proposed regulations pending their finalization.

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

0.060% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes and 0.200% of the principal amount of the 2024 Fixed Rate Notes, as applicable. The Underwriters may
allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.035% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes and 0.150% of the principal amount of the
2024 Fixed Rate Notes, as applicable. After the initial offering of the Notes to the public, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc., with respect to the 2021
Notes, and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, with respect to the 2024 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., Mizuho Securities USA LLC, SMBC Nikko Securities America, Inc. and Wells
Fargo Securities, LLC, 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.
It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made against payment therefor on or about January 15, 2019, which will be the third business day
following the date of the pricing 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 on any date prior to two business days before the original issue date 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 the Underwriters or an affiliate of that Underwriter. The
applicable Underwriter and its affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits in connection with these hedging transactions and the
hedging transactions described below.

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 (EU) 2016/97 (the Insurance Distribution Directive), as amended or superseded, 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 or superseded), 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.

LEGAL MATTERS
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.
