On these vehicles, the rear subframe can corrode at the points where the suspension is mounted. If this happens, rear suspension parts, such as the rear control arm, can fail. This affects vehicles sold in a number of states. Dealers will inspect the rear subframe and install a reinforcement kit, and repair or replace subframe components as needed, free of charge. A final remedy is expected later, and additional letters will follow once it's ready.

Honda is recalling certain Honda and Acura vehicles, including the Accord, Civic, CR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Ridgeline, HR-V, Fit, Insight, Passport and the Acura TLX, RDX and MDX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short circuit. If that happens, the airbags can go off when they should not during a crash. Dealers will replace the seat weight sensors at no cost. This recall expands an earlier recall.
Reported May 9, 2024 · Campaign 24V321000 · Model years: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025
The wire harness that connects the rearview camera to the vehicle's tailgate may fatigue over time and eventually break. If the harness breaks, the rearview camera image may stop displaying on the vehicle's screen. Without a working rearview camera, the driver has a reduced view of the area behind the vehicle. A reduced rear view increases the risk of a crash.
Reported Mar 7, 2024 · Campaign 24V184000 · Model years: 2023
Inside the steering gearbox is a ball joint housing that connects to the steering rack. On some of these vehicles, that housing can loosen and come apart from the rack. If the housing separates from the rack, you can lose the ability to steer the vehicle. Losing steering control while driving makes it much harder to keep the vehicle going where you want it to go, which raises the chance of a crash.
Reported Feb 1, 2024 · Campaign 24V064000 · Model years: 2020, 2021
Honda is recalling certain 2020 through 2022 Honda and Acura vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and the Acura MDX, RDX and TLX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short out. When that happens, the system may not switch off the front passenger airbag when it is supposed to.
Reported Dec 18, 2023 · Campaign 23V858000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020
In a wide range of Honda and Acura vehicles, the fuel pump located inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails while you are driving, the engine can suddenly stall.
Reported Nov 13, 2023 · Campaign 23V751000 · Model years: 2019
These vehicles have an engine part called a connecting rod bearing, and a manufacturing error affects it. Because of this defect, the bearing can wear down over time and eventually seize up inside the engine. When that happens, the engine can become damaged. A damaged engine may not run the way it should, and it could even stop working suddenly while the vehicle is being driven.
Reported Jun 29, 2023 · Campaign 23V458000 · Model years: 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
A fastener that connects the brake booster to the brake master cylinder may not have been put together correctly when the vehicle was built. Over time, this can cause the master cylinder to come apart from the booster assembly.
Reported Mar 16, 2023 · Campaign 23V174000 · Model years: 2020, 2021
Honda is recalling certain Pilot, Ridgeline, Passport and Odyssey vehicles. The heating pads sitting behind both side-view mirrors may not be bonded on properly. Because of that, the mirror glass can come loose and separate from the mirror. With the glass gone, these vehicles do not meet the federal rules for rear visibility. The recall covers the mirrors on both the left and the right side of the vehicle.
Reported Nov 23, 2022 · Campaign 22V867000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
On some Honda Ridgeline trucks, opening and closing the tailgate can break the wiring harness that connects to the rearview camera. When this wiring breaks, the rearview camera stops working and no longer shows the driver what is behind the truck. Losing this camera view reduces the driver's visibility to the rear, which increases the chance of a crash while driving.
Reported Nov 29, 2021 · Campaign 21V932000 · Model years: 2018, 2019, 2020
On these Honda vehicles, the metal striker that helps keep the hood latch closed can become damaged and separate from the hood. If that happens, the hood can open while you are driving.
Reported Nov 18, 2021 · Campaign 21V900000 · Model years: 2021
Honda is recalling certain Accord, Accord Hybrid, CR-V, CR-V Hybrid, Insight and Ridgeline vehicles. The automatic locking feature on the second-row center seat belt may turn off when it should not, and a child seat held by that belt can be left unsecured. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule for occupant crash protection. Dealers will replace the second-row center seat belt assembly at no cost to the owner.
Reported Mar 25, 2021 · Campaign 21V215000 · Model years: 2019
On many Honda and Acura models, the low-pressure fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail. If it fails, the engine can stall while the vehicle is being driven.
This recall covers Honda Genuine Accessory Tonneau Covers sold for Ridgeline trucks. If the cover isn't properly secured in the open or closed position, wind can cause it to flip and buckle. That can bend the hinges between the center and rear panels, and the rear panel may come off the truck.
On certain Acura MDX, TLX, and Honda Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline vehicles, the teeth on the timing belt may separate from the belt. If the timing belt teeth separate, the engine may stall while driving. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the timing belt if it's affected. If a new timing belt is installed, the engine will also be inspected and any damaged parts will be replaced, all free of charge.
Reported Jan 24, 2019 · Campaign 19V053000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
On some Honda Ridgeline trucks, exposure to acids, such as those found in car wash soaps, can cause the fuel pump's feed port to crack. A cracked feed port can let pressurized fuel inside the fuel system leak out. Because the fuel is under pressure when it leaks, this increases the chance that a fire could start. A fuel leak of this kind is considered a fire risk for the vehicle.
Reported Nov 28, 2018 · Campaign 18V848000 · Model years: 2019
Honda is recalling certain Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles because the mounting holes for a clip that holds the right center pillar trim panel may be too large. In a crash where the right side curtain air bag needs to deploy, the trim panel may not stay in place and could interfere with the air bag's deployment. If the air bag does not deploy properly, occupants face an increased risk of injury.
The airbag control unit in these vehicles may have been built with a manufacturing error. Because of this, the airbags or seatbelt pretensioners might not deploy properly if the vehicle is in a crash.
On these vehicles, the powered front seats may have been built with rivets that were not manufactured correctly. This affects the driver and passenger seats in the Honda vehicles, and the driver seat in the Acura vehicles. In a crash, these rivets can break, which can cause the seat to come loose from the floor of the vehicle instead of staying secured in place.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 19 safety recalls covering the 2018–2025 Honda Ridgeline. 17 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Honda, Acura Rear Subframe May Corrode And Fail" (NHTSA campaign 26V365000), reported Jun 4, 2026.
Which Honda Ridgeline model year has the most recalls?
The 2019 Honda Ridgeline has the most, with 12 recalls. The 2024 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Honda Ridgeline?
No. None of the 19 Honda Ridgeline recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Honda Ridgeline has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Honda dealer, including for second owners.
