STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2019 Passport, 2016-2019 Pilot, and 2017-2020 Ridgeline vehicles. The hood latch striker may become damaged and separate from the hood, which can result in the hood opening while driving.
- What it can cause
- A hood that opens while driving can obstruct the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will either repair the hood latch striker, or replace the hood if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 18, 2022. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is PBV.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 724,826 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2016 to 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the structure 14 times before this, most recently in April 2021 as 21V249000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 9 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5,099 complaints with NHTSA, 1,494 of them before this campaign was filed. 153 of those name the structure, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in July 2015, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 14 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 24V321000 (back over prevention), 24V064000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on November 29, 2021 as campaign 21V932000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
