Buying a used 2022 Honda Ridgeline? Check these 3 recalls first
Three recalls apply here: the critical brake-failure campaign shared with Civic, Pilot and Acura MDX, the rear frame rust-through action, and backup camera wiring that can break. None is flagged stop-driving or park-outside. The complaint mix differs from 2021 — of 114 unverified owner reports to NHTSA, exterior lighting is the single largest area at 30, ahead of engine, electrical system and forward collision avoidance. Three fire reports are on file.
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.
- Confirm by VIN that the brake-failure recall repair was performed
- Check every exterior light, including headlights and running lights, at night
- Inspect the rear frame for corrosion and verify the backup camera displays reliably
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
