The 2010 Honda Ridgeline has 9 recalls, the most serious being a widespread Takata airbag defect where both the driver and passenger frontal airbag inflators can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.
The airbag issue spans multiple filings covering different geographic regions and model year ranges, but the core danger is the same across all of them: a defective inflator that can explode with excessive force in a crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue for all affected vehicles, which is why multiple campaigns remain open. There is also a structural recall affecting vehicles that were sold or registered in certain northern and mid-Atlantic states, where frame corrosion can cause a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire if an ignition source is present.
