Frame Corrosion May Cause Fuel Leak

NHTSA #22V430000 · Structure — Frame and Members · NHTSA notice

Reported June 16, 2022 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

Potentially affected: 132,882 vehicles

Repair completion: 52.6% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Honda campaign LCD · Owners notified August 9, 2022

Defect description

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2006-2014 Ridgeline vehicles that were sold, or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin. An accumulation of road salt may cause the frame mounting surface, where the fuel tank mounting bands are attached, to corrode and possibly detach the fuel tank, which can result in a fuel leak.

Safety consequence

A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source can increase the risk of a fire.

Manufacturer remedy

Dealers will inspect and repair the rear frame, as necessary, free of charge. Depending on the extent of any corrosion damage, Honda may offer to repurchase the vehicle. Owner notification letters were mailed August 9, 2022. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is LCD.

Vehicle Speed Control; Service Brakes

ODI #11452956

Crash

Incident: February 18, 2022 · Filed: February 19, 2022

On Friday 2/18/2022 I was pulling into a parking space with my 2010 Honda Ridgeline. When applying the brake, the vehicle suddenly accelerated unintentionally and hit the car in the opposing parking space. I stood on the brake harder when I sensed the vehicle lurching forward. After I struck the opposing car, I confirmed that my foot was on the brake and not touching the accelerator. Also, oddly the vehicle immediately stopped running and I noticed the car was in Reverse. I took pictures and video immediately after the incident both inside the car and outside before I touched anything. I then put the car in Park, started the car, and backed it up. I inspected both cars for damage and did not find any damage. I left a note for the other car. The owner later called and confirmed she did not find any damage. One interesting thing that I noticed is that the parking space had a sewer drain in the front left corner that had a large slope and snow/ice surrounding it. The unintended acceleration occurred right when the front left tire hit that sloping ice patch.

FOR THE PAST THREE WEEKS, AND ONLY WHEN IT RAINS, I HAVE NOTICED, WHILE SEATED IN MY VEHICLE (DIVERS SIDE FRONT SEAT) THAT WATER IS ENTERING MY VEHICLE FROM AN UNKNOWN LOCATION AND POOLING ALONG THE ROOF HEADLINER AND A PILLAR PLASTIC COVER. WHEN I TRY TO REPLICATE THE LEAK BY POURING WATER IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS NO WATER ENTERS. WHEN IT RAINS, I SEE THE ROOF HEADLINER NEAREST THE A PILLAR IS SOAKED. WHEN I PARTIALLY REMOVED THE WEATHER STRIPPING FROM THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR AND PARTIALLY REMOVED THE HEADLINE,R I COULD FEEL THAT THE ROOF LINER IN THE AREA WAS STILL WET AS WAS A PORTION OF THE SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG. I CALLED MY LOCAL HONDA DEALER (VALLEY HONDA MONROEVILLE PA SERVICE DEPT.) ON 01/18/17 AND WAS TOLD "WE CAN'T HELP YOU. CALL A BODY SHOP." I AM CONCERNED THAT THE WATER ENTERING THE VEHICLE WILL DAMAGE OR AFFECT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAG. I SHOULD TELL YOU THAT ON 12/30/16, I HAD THE AIR BAG INFLATOR REPLACED AS PER THE TAKATA DRIVER'S AIR BAG INFLATOR RECALL CALL AND EVER SINCE THIS AREA IS LEAKING! HELP!
