Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies three safety concerns for the 2018 Honda Ridgeline. Improper seat rivets may allow the front powered seat slide rail frames to break in a crash, increasing injury risk. A fuel pump feed port may crack after exposure to acids such as car wash soaps, allowing pressurized fuel to leak and increasing fire risk. On affected Honda Genuine Accessory Tonneau Covers, improper securing may let wind deform the hinges and separate a rear panel, creating a road hazard.
