2020 Honda Ridgeline

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the tailgate wiring harness could become damaged. As a result, the rearview camera image may not display when the transmission is shifted into the reverse gear. 

Safety Risk: 
A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the tailgate wiring harness.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the weight sensor for the front passenger seat may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the passenger-front airbag and knee airbag could deploy in a crash that doesn't require them to. 
Note: If the weight sensor fails, the SRS warning light would turn on in the instrument panel. 

Safety Risk: 
An airbag system that doesn't work properly could increase the risk of injury in a crash. 

Corrective Actions: 
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership for an inspection if the SRS warning light is on. If the SRS warning light is on due to a faulty weight sensor, the weight sensor will be replaced. When repair parts are available, Honda will send you a second letter. They will advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the passenger-front seat weight sensor.

Issue:  
On certain vehicles, the brake master cylinder could separate from the brake booster. If this happens, braking could be reduced or you could experience a complete loss of brakes.  
  
Safety Risk:  
Reduced braking or a loss of brakes can increase the risk of a crash.   
  
Corrective Actions:  
Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the brake master cylinder and brake booster. The dealer will inspect for any missing nuts and damaged brake booster parts and replace them as necessary.

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the side mirror glass may not be attached properly. As a result, the mirror glass could vibrate or fall off. 
 
Safety Risk: 
A missing mirror will reduce rear visibility and could increase the risk of a crash. 
 
Corrective Actions: 
Honda will notify owners by mail. Due to a parts supply issue, Honda advises that you should only take your vehicle to a dealership if the mirror is loose, vibrating or has fully detached. Honda will send you a second notice when the replacement parts are available, and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the glass on both side mirrors.

Issue: 
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. 

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

Corrective Actions: 
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.
