Consumer Description

On the new Honda Ridgeline HPD there are small front fender flairs. At the bottom they are fastened with screws but at the top they are fastened with 3M tape. My Vehicle has 2K miles so I decided to take it on the interstate. Going about 75 MPH the wind resistance the tape gave away and the flair flipped right back into the tire. I thought my tire had blown as there was pulling and a loud noise. If I had overcorrected there could have been a tragic accident. I was able to get the vehicle to the side of the road and saw the issue as the fender flair was all chewed up from the tire. And for what? Using Tape instead of a secure system. Going at that rate of speed and assuming your tire just blew is an accident waiting to happen and this could be easily prevented.
