2022 Honda Ridgeline Recalls, Ratings & Complaints

Incident: April 30, 2026 · Filed: October 28, 2026

The component that failed is the starter motor assembly. It is currently installed in the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. This failure creates a severe safety hazard by disabling critical Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). When the vehicle's Auto Idle Stop feature engages at a stop and then attempts to restart the engine, the internally defective starter draws excessive current. This causes the vehicle's electrical system voltage to plummet to 9 Volts. This sudden low-voltage condition immediately triggers warning messages and disables the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and the Forward Collision Warning system. My safety and the safety of others are put at immediate risk because the primary emergency automatic braking systems are deactivated during normal driving operation. The problem has been definitively reproduced and confirmed by an authorized Honda dealership. The manufacturer is aware of this defect and issued TSB 23-010 and a March 2023 Warranty Extension covering this exact issue. Initially, at the manufacturer's instruction, the authorized dealer performed a valve adjustment. However, on May 20, 2026, the dealership's technician officially documented on the repair order: "After repair battery voltage still dropping to 9V when restarting." Despite written confirmation from their own authorized dealership that the dangerous voltage drop and safety system failures persist, the manufacturer's District Parts & Service Manager denied the subsequent required starter motor replacement. The vehicle was fully inspected and diagnosed by the dealer, but the manufacturer refuses to complete the hardware repair, leaving the vehicle in an unsafe condition. The warning symptoms include a strained engine restart from an Auto Idle Stop event, immediately followed by CMBS and Forward Collision warning lamps illuminating on the dashboard

Part 573 Safety Recall Report for the Seat Weight Sensor recall for Honda includes 2017-2021 and certain cars in 2023. Mine Ridgeline is a 2022. My curtain airbags on the drivers side spontaneously deployed while I was driving along a 4-lane highway. I was stunned, but I was able to pull of the road safely, but I am bruised on my shoulder, hip, and thigh due to the impact of the airbags. The 2022 Ridgelines should have been included in the recall. Honda has so far not taken responsibility for the air bag deployment. Because an actual accident did not occur, but a 'mechanical failure', my insurance agency has refused to file and pay for the damage.
