Honda Ridgeline Recalled FIRE

One of our "FAVORITE" HD Towing platforms has an issue! :B

Honda is recalling 106,683 Ridgeline pickups in the United States, because they could catch fire after being cleaned.

The issue stems from the Ridgeline's fuel pump feed port, which can be corroded over time by the kinds of acids found in some car wash soaps, leading to cracks that may allow gas to leak out.

Owners of the 2017 to 2019 vehicles will be notified and Honda will inspect and, if necessary, replace the fuel pumps and also install a new fuel pump cover.

Honda has not advised owners to refrain from driving or washing their vehicles.

The recall is scheduled to being March 7.
