BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Ridgeline vehicles. Opening and closing the tailgate may break the rearview camera wiring harness, causing the rearview camera to fail.
- What it can cause
- An inoperative rearview camera can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rearview camera wiring harness, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 31, 2023. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is 6RW.
- 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 117,445 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 2017 to 2019, 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 back over prevention 3 times before this, most recently in July 2020 as 20V439000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 731 complaints with NHTSA, 342 of them before this campaign was filed. 78 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in August 2016, 6 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 6 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 23V858000 (fuel system, gasoline), 23V751000 (engine and engine cooling).
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 23, 2022 as campaign 22V867000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
