The 2007 Honda Ridgeline has 8 recalls, the most serious being multiple Takata airbag inflator defects affecting both the driver and passenger frontal airbags, where the inflators can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The airbag issue spans several recalls that all describe the same underlying hazard, covering both front seating positions. Separately from the airbag concerns, a wiring harness connector for the HVAC blower motor sits in a location under the passenger-side dashboard where a front passenger's feet can reach it; if the wiring insulation wears through and the exposed wires contact each other, a fire can start inside the cabin. There is also a frame-related recall affecting vehicles sold or registered in certain northern and mid-Atlantic states, where corrosion can compromise the fuel tank straps or surrounding structure and cause a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire if an ignition source is nearby.
