Buying a used 2025 Honda Ridgeline? Check these 2 recalls first
As the newest year listed, this Ridgeline carries only two recalls: a seat sensor that may cause unintended airbag deployment, and backup camera wiring that can break. Neither is flagged stop-driving or park-outside, and the earlier brake and frame-rust campaigns do not appear. Owners have filed 84 unverified complaints with NHTSA, spread across electrical system (24), exterior lighting (24) and engine (19); two crashes, one fire and one injury are 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.
- Ask whether the seat-sensor recall was done, or check VIN status yourself
- Watch the passenger airbag indicator cycle correctly when someone sits down
- Test the backup camera through full steering and tailgate movement for dropouts
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
