My 2008 Honda Ridgeline is PA titled and was involved in recall 22V-430 (NHTSA recall number) / 22-021 (Honda recall number). I took my truck into Wright Honda (Uniontown, PA) on June 2nd, 2023 for the 2006-2014 Ridgeline Rear Frame Repair Safety Recall.

IT WAS THE NEXT MORNING IN THE LIGHT WHEN WE REALIZED THE ENTIRE CAB TOP-REAR PANEL (BREAK LIGHT, WIRING & ALL) HAD DISLODGED COMPLETELY OFF THE TRUCK, AND DECIDED THIS WAS PROBABLY THE RIPPING SOUND WE HEARD ON I-83 THE NIGHT BEFORE, THOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW AT THE TIME, AND PRAY NO DANGER RESULTED BEHIND US.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 HONDA RIDGELINE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
