2022 Honda Ridgeline: Recalls and Reported Problems

Every NHTSA safety recall recorded for this model year, what owners report most often, and how to check whether one specific vehicle still has open work.

NHTSA dataModel-year data describes the production run, not the car in front of you.

Two identical Ridgelines can differ entirely: one may have had every recall repaired, the other none.

Direct answer

NHTSA lists 3 safety recalls for the 2022 Honda Ridgeline, alongside 113 owner complaints filed with the agency, most often about exterior lighting. Recall repairs are performed free of charge by a franchised dealer, with no expiry on safety recalls. A recall applies to a production range, so check the specific VIN — a previous owner may already have had the work done.

What owners report most

These are the vehicle systems named most often in complaints owners filed with NHTSA about the 2022 Honda Ridgeline.

Recall campaigns for the 2022 Honda Ridgeline

How to check one specific Ridgeline

  1. Copy the 17-character VIN from the windshield or driver-door label — not from the listing.
  2. Run it through NHTSA’s free recall lookup to see open campaigns for that exact vehicle.
  3. Ask the seller for repair documentation on any campaign that shows as completed.
  4. Check title, odometer, and total-loss history separately; recalls say nothing about a vehicle’s past.
  5. Book an independent pre-purchase inspection focused on the systems owners report most.

What this data cannot tell you

  • Whether a specific vehicle is included in a campaign, or whether its recall work was completed — only a VIN lookup answers that.
  • Whether a complaint is accurate. NHTSA publishes owner reports without verifying them.
  • How reliable the model is overall: complaint volume tracks how many vehicles were sold as much as how they hold up.
  • Anything about title brands, accident history, odometer records, or liens on an individual vehicle.
