Buying a used 2018 Honda Ridgeline? Check these 8 recalls first

Fuel pump cracking with fire risk and fuel pump failure are distinct listed concerns, alongside power seat detachment, hood latch opening, tonneau panel separation, unintended passenger airbag deployment, and rear subframe corrosion.

Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify both fuel pump campaigns and rear subframe recall completion by VIN.
- Request power seat, hood latch, tonneau cover, and airbag recall records.
- Test rearview camera operation; ask about wiring repairs, electrical faults, and engine symptoms.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
