Structure

Transport Canada recall 2022320 · manufacturer campaign HP25

16 June 2022

Transport Canada lists: Ridgeline 2006–2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rear frame could rust where the fuel tank and rear subframe are mounted. If this happens, the fuel tank and/or rear subframe mounts could separate from the frame. This can allow the fuel tank to fall and become damaged, which could cause a fuel leak.

Why it matters

A fuel leak can create the risk of a fire.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the rear frame for corrosion. Depending on the outcome of the inspection, the dealer will either apply corrosion protection and install a support brace, or repair the frame. Honda will offer to repurchase vehicles that do not pass the inspection.

Transport Canada recall 2019323

28 June 2019

Transport Canada lists: CSX 2009 · El 2001–2005 · Ilx 2013 · MDX 2003 · and 11 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, may eventually degrade the propellant contained in the airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants or cause damage to the airbag assembly, preventing its proper function. Note: This is a new recall campaign that includes vehicles that had an airbag inflator replaced under a previous recall or had a replacement airbag installed. The previous recall provided an interim (short-term) repair. Interim repair parts must be replaced with the final repair parts provided in this recall.

Why it matters

If the vehicle is involved in a crash requiring an airbag deployment, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Owners will be notified by mail and instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver and/or passenger-front airbag inflator. Note: The Canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. This recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk. It is expected that all airbag inflators will be replaced before their function would be affected.

Transport Canada recall 2018523

27 September 2018

Transport Canada lists: CSX 2010–2011 · RL 2010–2012 · TSX 2010–2013 · ZDX 2010–2013 · and 9 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the passenger frontal airbag inflator.

Transport Canada recall 2016046

1 February 2016

Transport Canada lists: Ilx 2013–2016 · RDX 2007–2015 · RL 2005–2012 · TL 2009–2014 · and 6 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect/replace the driver's frontal airbag inflator. Note: Honda Canada has created a special Airbag Inflator Hotline for immediate assistance. For more information, please contact: For Honda Owners: 1-877-445-7754 For Acura Owners: 1-877-445-9844

Transport Canada recall 2012017 · manufacturer campaign HL38

20 January 2012

Transport Canada lists: Ridgeline 2011–2012

What is wrong

Certain vehicles may have been inadvertently equipped with a full-size spare tire instead of a space-saver tire. As such, the information contained in the Tire and Loading Information label may not correspond to the spare tire provided.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, exchange the spare tire to match the tire information label.
