Buying a used 2023 Honda Ridgeline? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 126 owner complaints on file

Two critical recalls apply: the brake-failure campaign shared with Civic, Pilot and Acura MDX, and a Passport/Ridgeline action for possible loss of steering control. A seat-sensor recall tied to unintended airbag deployment, rear frame rust-through and backup camera wiring complete the list; none carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Exterior lighting dominates the 126 unverified owner complaints with 39 reports, followed by engine and electrical system.

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. Verify by VIN that both the steering and brake recall repairs are closed
3. Drive it and note any steering wander, play, or unusual effort
4. Check all exterior lighting and the passenger airbag-off indicator with a passenger seated
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.
