The U.S. auto safety regulator has closed its review of a 2022 Honda recall covering rear-view camera problems in 129,092 Ridgeline pickup trucks, concluding that further regulatory action was not warranted. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened the review in 2024 and escalated it to a more detailed engineering investigation in February 2025 after reports that wiring harnesses had failed in some vehicles even after the original recall repair was performed. NHTSA said its examination did not substantiate concerns that the repaired harnesses would develop failures. Investigators at the agency's Vehicle Research and Test Center gathered information from vehicle owners, examined selected trucks and subjected the wiring harnesses to durability testing, finding no instances in which harness damage had caused a rear-view camera failure. The regulator added that the component was not expected to fail over a reasonable operating life, and that most complaints received during the investigation related to other rear-view camera or wiring-harness problems that could not be tied to the durability concern behind the engineering analysis.
Honda Motor Co., Ltd.NHTSA closed its review of the 2022 Honda Ridgeline rear-view camera recall without further action, removing regulatory risk for Honda.
