5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
Exterior lighting draws the heaviest complaint volume for the 2022 Ridgeline, with owners frequently reporting headlights that dim, flicker, or fail outright, a pattern that spans multiple reports across this model year. The engine and electrical system each generate a similar share of complaints. On the engine side, owners describe oil consumption issues, stalling, and in a smaller number of cases, internal failures including seized engines and bearing damage at relatively modest mileage. Electrical complaints center on the backup camera producing intermittent black screens and the auto idle-stop system behaving erratically or failing to activate. A single report describes an unintended acceleration event during low-speed braking, though that account stands alone and doesn't reflect a broader pattern in this data set. The backup camera blackout issue is the most consistently described electrical symptom across multiple owners.

With Injuries
By System
The 2022 Honda Ridgeline has 4 recalls, with the most serious being a brake master cylinder that can separate from the brake booster, causing partial or complete loss of braking ability.
Two other recalls affect safety-critical systems. The rear suspension control arm can corrode and fail in certain states where road salt is used, which can cause the driver to lose handling or control. A separate recall covers the front passenger seat sensor, which can misread occupant presence and cause the airbag to deploy incorrectly in a crash, raising the risk of injury. On the visibility side, the rearview camera's tailgate wiring can fatigue and break over time, leaving the backup camera with no image and reducing what the driver can see when reversing.
