Potential Consequences:
Hood latch recall. Inspected & partially repaired by Classic Honda of Midland, TX on 02/08/2022. There are cracks around the hood striker, & I have pictures. It says on invoice that it was submitted to DPSM. I have called the dealership service department several times & the advisor has not returned my calls about the results of DPSM. I called Honda customer service & she told me they can do nothing because each dealership is privately owned. The hood vibrates still & looks like it will fly off in windstorms & passing semis on interstates. The blue rectangles on picture were drawn by the service technician.

Potential Consequences:
REAR VIEW CAMERA FAILURE I opened and closed the rear tailgate a couple days ago, and the Rear View Camera stopped displaying when the vehicle is in reverse. Just a black screen for a while, then, the guidance lines show up, still with no picture. I have not taken this to the dealer yet, but on RIDGELINEOWNERSCLUB.COM, this appears to be a common problem, caused by a broken wire harness near the tail gate hinge.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
When reversing, I've had several instances over the past several years where the backup screen just went to black (Head unit displays black, with the guide marks.) i figured it was a software issue. However, when the back-up camera ceased working I googled the issue with "2017 Honda Ridge-line and backup camera" and found that severed wires at the tailgate left corner hinge area is a common issue. I found the harness broken at the pivot point of tailgate. (Left bottom corner of tailgate)Tailgate wiring exposed in hinge. Plastic cover has split/separated. I am a sixty-three year old female so I'm not using the tailgate/truck bed very much. I took it to the dealership (04/12/22); they told me they have not had any reported instances of this issue and then requested how I broke the harness! They quoted me a price to purchase/replace the harness; however, since this seems to be an issue across 2017 -2019 Ridge-lines with the wiring loom not having enough slack, combined with the 90° bend at the tailgate, allowing the thin metal edge of the tailgate to press directly against the wiring, especially when the tailgate is fully swung open. I believe Honda should replace the harness under a TSB.

Blind Spot warning system failure. Could not find cause, so took it to the dealer and they determined it was a shorted wires within the wiring harness that leads to the tailgate. This is the same wiring harness that has the backup camera wires, which are also problematic. Apparently within the last month or so, you announced an investigation into this issue for 2017 and 2018 Ridgelines. Dealer is Luther Brookdale Honda in Brooklyn Center, MN. I paid $114.11 for a diagnostic.
