NHTSA Safety Investigations, HONDA RIDGELINE

Investigations opened by NHTSA into potential safety defects. These are separate from recalls and may or may not result in a recall.

EA, Open , Model Year: 2017

Rear-View Camera Failure

On June 26, 2024, the Oﬃce of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened a Recall Query (RQ24011) to assess the long-term suitability of the remedy for recall 22V-867, which was ﬁled on November 23, 2022 by American Honda Motor Co. (Honda). Recall 22V-867 addressed concerns of a loss of the Rear-View Ca... mera (RVC) function in model year (MY) 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. Recall 22V-867 states that the RVC wire harness was manufactured with a protective corrugated tubing which was insufficient to protect against bending wear and zip ties which were insufficiently tightened and would not keep the protective tubing in place. The consequence is that the RVC wire harness may fatigue and break after repeated opening and closing of the tailgate. This ultimately results in the failure of the RVC image to display due to a lack of connectivity. Honda’s remedy identified in the recall filing was a replacement harness with longer protective corrugated tubing and sufficiently tightened zip ties. This remedy part was also installed as a production part in certain MY 2019 Ridgeline vehicles. On May 3, 2024, Honda submitted recall 24V-321 to ODI, addressing concerns of a loss of the RVC function in MY 2020-2024 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. Recall 24V-321 states that the RVC wire harness was manufactured with a material which was susceptible to breakage upon repeated opening and closing of the tailgate, which ultimately leads to a complete loss of RVC function. Honda’s remedy identified in the recall filing was a replacement harness manufactured by a new supplier with improved material properties to withstand wear from bending. Since the remedy parts for recall 22V-867 and the production parts recalled under 24V-321 use the same supplier and materials for critical components in the RVC wire harness, ODI opened RQ24011. To date, ODI has received 1 allegation of a 22V-867 remedy RVC wire harness failure. Honda indicated that it is aware of a total of 14 reports regarding remedy RVC wire harness failures associated with Recall 22V-867. Additional remedy parts may not have yet seen sufficient wear to induce the failure. ODI also believes further testing is necessary to assess the potential failures in these parts. This Engineering Analysis is being opened to further assess the scope, frequency, and potential safety related consequences of the rear view camera harness failures in 2017-2019 Honda Ridgeline vehicles. To review the ODI report cited in the Opening Resume ODI Report Identification Number document, go to NHTSA.gov.Read more

Rear-View Camera Failure

On February 7, 2022, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Preliminary Evaluation (PE22-001) to assess alleged failures of the rear-view camera (RVC) in 2017-2018 Model Year Honda Ridgeline vehicles. At this time, ODI has received a total of 107 complaints with allegations of the RVC imag... e failing to display when the vehicle was in reverse.The RVC wire harness is manufactured with a protective corrugated tubing and harness guide to help mitigate stress on the RVC wire harness when the tailgate was opened and closed. Honda determined the length of corrugated tubing inserted into the harness guide was insufficient to provide optimal protection for the wire harness. This lack of protection for RVC wire harness led to severe wire harness damage that ultimately led to the failure of the RVC image to display due to a lack of connectivity.On November 23, 2022, Honda filed a defect information report recalling all 2017-2019MY Honda Ridgeline vehicles. The dealer will replace the RVC tailgate harness with an improved wire harness that has longer corrugated tubing to protect the wire harness.In view of the recall action being taken by Honda, 22V-867, ODI is closing this Preliminary Evaluation. NHTSA reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by future circumstances. The ODI reports cited above are available to review at NHTSA.gov under the following ODI identification numbers:11206191, 11298458, 11319870, 11329993, 11341373, 11343035, 11343035, 11343441, 11350026, 11350162, 11361959, 11362378, 11362758, 11363268, 11372604, 11373525, 11374112, 11388328, 11395026, 11397565, 11397936, 11398930, 11399178, 11400366, 11403360, 11403368, 11404149, 11408414, 11413184, 11415248, 11415847, 11417394, 11419669, 11420068, 11422394, 11422938, 11428514, 11431246, 11437880, 11438172, 11440548, 11441551, 11443328, 11447502, 11448600, 11449291, 11450413, 11451727, 11451728, 11451753, 11451793, 11451847, 11451959, 11452077, 11452433, 11452769, 11453044, 11453189, 11453403, 11453442, 11453622, 11455106, 11456922, 11456929, 11457013, 11457158, 11457908, 11458258, 11458430, 11458861, 11459046, 11459437, 11459517, 11460875, 11461017, 11461047, 11461083, 11461652, 11462082, 11462401, 11462703, 11464525, 11464749, 11465214, 11466731, 11466931, 11470232, 11470656, 11470768, 11471427, 11471889, 11471950, 11472343, 11472927, 11473801, 11473970, 11476348, 11479379, 11479629, 11480475, 11482614, 11484718, 11485708, 11485720, 11485774, 11485930, 11486546Read more
