2019 HONDA RIDGELINE; 2019 HONDA PILOT
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2019 Honda Ridgeline and Pilot vehicles because the mounting holes for the clip that secures the right center pillar trim panel may be larger than intended. If a crash occurs on the right side requiring the curtain air bag to deploy, the clip may not hold the trim panel in place, and the panel could interfere with proper air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to occupants. The vehicles fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for side impact protection and ejection mitigation.
Honda began notifying owners on January 22, 2019, and will provide a free remedy in which dealers install a bracket on the right center pillar to securely hold the center pillar trim clip. Owners should contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 to arrange this service, referencing recall number D3D.
