What is wrong

This recall is for low-pressure fuel pumps installed on certain vehicles or sold at dealerships as a replacement part. On certain vehicles, the low-pressure fuel pump could fail. If this happens, the engine may run rough or may not start and the check engine light may turn on. This could also result in a sudden loss of engine power while driving. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2023-679. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall don't require this repair.

Why it matters

A sudden loss of engine power could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the fuel pump motor.

23 November 2022

Transport Canada lists: Ridgeline 2017–2019

What is wrong

On certain trucks, the tailgate wiring harness could become damaged over time. If this happens, the rearview camera image may not display when the transmission is shifted into reverse.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that does not display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail. Due to a parts supply issue, Honda will advise you to take your truck to the dealership only if this failure occurs. When enough parts are available, Honda will re-notify owners and instruct you to take your truck to a dealership to replace the tailgate wiring harness.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the hood latch striker could separate from the hood. If this happens, the hood could open while driving. Note: A loose or vibrating hood may be a warning that the hood latch is failing.

Why it matters

A hood that opens suddenly while driving could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the hood latch striker. Depending on its condition, a striker support plate will be installed, or if necessary, the hood will be replaced.

Accessories

Transport Canada recall 2020441

17 September 2020

Transport Canada lists: Ridgeline 2017–2020

What is wrong

This recall is for Honda Genuine Accessory tri-fold tonneau covers that were sold as an accessory by Honda dealers. There may be a problem with the bed-cover that could cause it to come loose while driving and detach from the truck.

Why it matters

A bed-cover cover that separates from a moving truck could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer for an inspection. If necessary, the dealer will install a tether between the center and rear panels of the tonneau cover to prevent them from separating. The dealer will also provide you with an updated accessory owner's manual and apply warning labels that remind you to properly secure the tonneau cover before driving. Note: Until the recall repairs are completed, you can prevent the tonneau cover from coming loose by removing and storing it.

Transport Canada recall 2019035 · manufacturer campaign HN71

25 January 2019

Transport Canada lists: Ridgeline 2017–2019

What is wrong

During a car wash, water can drain from the truck bed onto the top of the fuel pump. Certain car wash detergents containing sulfuric acid could cause damage to the fuel pump. This could cause the fuel pump to crack and create a fuel leak.

Why it matters

Fuel leakage, in the presence of an ignition source, could increase the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is cracked, it will be replaced. Dealers will also install a fuel pump cover. Note: Owners who smell a fuel odour or believe there is a fuel leak should contact a dealer immediately.
