Buying a used 2019 Honda Ridgeline? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2019 is the heaviest Ridgeline year here, with two critical recalls: a fuel pump that can crack and leak gas, and engines that can seize from a faulty bearing. Also listed are airbags that may not deploy in a crash, a timing belt that can lose teeth, two more fuel pump actions, a hood that can fly open and rear frame rust. Fittingly, fuel system and gasoline top the 233 unverified complaints at 39 each, with 2 fires reported.
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.
- Get written confirmation the engine bearing and fuel pump recalls were completed.
- Ask about the timing belt recall and any history of rough running or stalling.
- Confirm no airbag warning light, and inspect the rear frame and hood latch.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
