Honda Ridgeline safety recall for rear wire harness with water protection measures taken on Honda Ridgeline

Some Honda Ridgeline owners report experiencing issues related to safety recalls concerning the rear wire harness, particularly due to potential water exposure. These concerns stem from a manufacturing defect in the rear wiring harness of certain 2017 models, which made approximately 9,200 all-wheel-drive Ridgeline trucks susceptible to water damage. Additionally, owners of Ridgeline vehicles from 2020 to 2024 have reported problems with a damaged tailgate wire harness that could lead to rearview camera malfunctions. In low-temperature conditions with road salt, the wiring may fatigue and break, exacerbating the risk of issues related to freezing water and salt exposure. To address these problems, Honda has initiated recalls to replace the rear-view camera tailgate harness with an improved part, demonstrating the company's commitment to ensuring safety and proper functionality in the Ridgeline.
