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

8 NHTSA recalls · 160 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Ridgeline's critical recall is a fuel pump that can crack and leak gas, joined by a separate fuel pump stalling recall, seats that may loosen, a hood that can fly open, a seat sensor airbag recall and rear frame rust. Two truck-specific medium recalls cover a tonneau cover panel that can fly off and tailgate use disabling the backup camera. That matches the 160 unverified complaints, where back over prevention ranks second at 30.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Ask for records on both fuel pump recalls and sniff for fuel odor at startup.
3. Operate the tailgate both ways, then confirm the backup camera still works.
4. Check seat mounting tightness, hood latch, and the rear frame for rust.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
