NHTSA Complaint #11471911 — 2007 HONDA RIDGELINE

Hello, we are reporting an incident our 2007 Honda Risgeline. I am reporting this for my son who is the owner of the truck. He hit a pothole, after which a ticking noise started. When he got home, we inspected the vehicle and found that the gas tank straps ripped out of the frame, due to frame rust. The gas tank is laying in contact with the vehicle driveshaft. The ticking noise is due to the driveshaft balance weights contacting the gas tank and the shaft rotates. I am reporting so that you have accurate incident counts for your records. This would be part of the recently announced recall for this issue. The vehicle can not be driven in its current state.
