STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles that were sold, or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. An accumulation of road salt may cause the frame mounting surface, where the fuel tank mounting bands are attached, to corrode and possibly detach the fuel tank, which can result in a fuel leak.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect and repair the rear frame, as necessary, free of charge. Depending on the extent of any corrosion damage, Honda may offer to repurchase the vehicle. Owner notification letters were mailed August 9, 2022. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is LCD.
- 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 132,882 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 93% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2006 to 2014, so the oldest vehicles on it were 16 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the structure 15 times before this, most recently in November 2021 as 21V932000. 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 762 complaints with NHTSA, 663 of them before this campaign was filed. 104 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 April 2005, 17 years before this filing.
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 June 16, 2022 as campaign 22V430000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
