The 2014 Ridgeline was subject to NHTSA campaign 16V061000 for defective Takata airbag inflators. Owners universally report the same problem: Honda notified them in March 2016 that replacement parts would arrive by summer 2016, but the parts never materialized.
From March through October 2016, owners called dealerships repeatedly and got no concrete answers. Dealers said parts were on backorder, manufacturers could not provide an ETA, and Honda's promised follow-up letter confirming parts availability never came. One owner was told to expect a six-week wait; eight weeks later, nothing arrived. Some owners report driving the vehicle for months feeling unsafe, especially one who experienced two prior accidents where the airbags did not deploy.
Honda offered loaner vehicles in some cases, but owners were offered cars or generic safe transportation rather than trucks equivalent to what they purchased. Regional availability was poor; one owner found no loaners within 71 miles. Owners expressed anger at the vague timeline ("sometime next summer"), the lack of manufacturer accountability, and being left to drive what they believed was a dangerous vehicle indefinitely. No actual airbag failures or injuries are reported—the complaints center entirely on the repair delay and unmet promises.
