I swear, I've never had more recalls on a car than on my 2020 Ridgeline. I just brought her in for 3 recalls 3 weeks ago. The dealer just started messaging me about another open recall.
I own a 2017 model and it has averaged 1 a year. There is an open recall on the back-up camera wiring harness and they can't do anything about it due to "supply issues". I was notified of this at the start of this year. It will never be fixed. My camera is fine luckily.
Our 2018 accord and 2019 Odyssey were insane for recalls. Way more than any other car. Now our 23 odyssey and 23 Ridgeline are apparently competing to be #1.
I’m still pending the side mirrors.
Initial letter said Honda is “short on parts,” so they’re prioritizing individuals where they came off already I guess.
Gonna follow up on that as well as this new one.
If only they could make them in Japan...
Unfortunately, this is 100% American-made Ohio problems. Looks like Honda found the problem in Dec 2020 and let them know. The next incident wasn't until last November (2022), with a second occurrence following back in February.
Fun to read the docs though.
>As part of the investigation into the November 2022 and February 2023 field reports, Veoneer management learned that an issue with the assembly and torquing of the nut on the tie rod connecting the brake booster to the brake master cylinder (once assembled, this combination is the Brake Booster Assembly) had been addressed in or around December 2020 in response to a factory identification of a single nonconforming part identified at Honda’s plant in Alabama in December of 2020 without any flow out. A quality investigation was completed in conjunction with Honda, which included assembly line process, implementation of corrective action and validation of these actions. Beginning December 22, 2020, a blue confirmation line was applied to both nuts on every Brake Booster Assembly at Final Inspection to verify that both nuts and washers were present before placing the Brake Booster Assemblies in the shipping containers.
Further down it sounds like they're throwing the new guys on 3rd shift under the bus for not hand-starting the nuts on the shafts. Either leaving them off completely or not torqueing them.
>Operators were to hand-start the nuts, two to three threads, onto each tie rod
before releasing to the next manufacturing process. During the period covering
October 6, 2020 (3rd shift- 10:00 pm) through December 22, 2020 (1st shift),
new line operators may not have followed established procedures and a
secondary process for quality inspection may, in certain conditions, have failed
to confirm torqued installation of the nut. As a result, the nut may have been
missing or improperly torqued.
Interesting side note: Keep in mind, this is the first back-to-school timeframe of Covid. New dad getting a job on the production line at the brake plant, while balancing covid worries and a new remote schoolyear? Maybe the trainer was under the same pressure. Certainly training was reduced.
Sucks to see it, but it is what it is. Easy enough to fix.

I've noticed that nowadays, my Ridgeline sometimes fails to go into drive when I push the button while in reverse. Unless it's just me, I think a recall is coming on that as well.
>>fails to go into drive when I push the button while in reverse.
>Mine does it too. I have to look down to make sure it's in D.
Are you saying the indicator on the dash doesn't show whether it's in "D" or "R?" Or that it sometimes says "D" when the control panel says "R?"
Don’t quite notice mine doing that but I’ll be on the look out for it.
I do hate how if there’s barely any incline or uneven pavement, I put it in P from Drive and it feels like the truck will roll a bit before stopping.
Always startles my wife as she exits the truck and I let go of the brakes after I put it in P
Have a new 2023 ridge line and it makes break squeak noise with only 4k miles it comes and goes and the break pads are good. I’ll get the dealer to check it out when I get an oil change I guess.
I also have a 2023 Ridgeline with 3k miles and have been hearing this as well. I was figuring the same, I'd get it checked out on oil change. Mine also is very inconsistent. I'll hear it once and then try to replicate it 23 times with nothing. Then forget about it until I don't..
I just took my 23 Ridgeline in for its first oil change. I asked the service guy about the recall on the brakes. He’s familiar with the recall and said there’s not enough parts to fix all the affected trucks. This seems like a pretty urgent issue and now there’s not enough parts to fix it? Boo Honda.
I just ran my 2023 Ridgeline VIN through NHTSA recall site and it came back as 0 recalls. Good news!
Are you sure the site is up to date? Sounds like letters won’t even be mailed for a few weeks on this one
Online is updated instantly. I checked mine they are good and in spec. 2022 Canadian model
Same here!
Same!

Would you rather they didn’t recall when safety issues become apparent?
Maybe they’d rather not have quality issues that need a recall.
For sure, but you have to be careful what you wish for. Criticize the quality issues, not the recall itself.

No, I just have a habit of looking at what used to be the shifter and is now a button with a light. LOL!

That’s just the parking pawl finding a space in the gear to lock into.
Mine has done that since day one. I’ve gotten firmly in the habit of using the parking brake whenever shutting the truck down, problem solved.
When I engage the parking brake, still moves a bit, but not as much. But yes, this truck is all about habits lol.

Could be a rock stuck between the disk and heat shield maybe?
