Honda Hood recall (Pilot, Ridgeline, Passport)
Quote:
Vehicles recalled: 724,826 vehicles in total, including the 2019 Passport SUV, 2016-2019 Pilot SUV, and 2017-2020 Ridgeline pickup truck.
The problem: Air entering a gap between the hood and the grille could cause the hood latch striker to weaken and potentially separate. If this happens, the hood could open while the vehicle is in motion. Honda has been investigating the issue since July 2016, and issued a technical service bulletin in December 2017.

(No fatalities but note that it took 5 1/2 years to get to a recall and they still used the design most of that time. Does anyone wonder why I'm skeptical about a stove recall?)
Quote:
The fix: Depending on the individual vehicle, Honda dealerships may repair the hood, install a striker support plate, or even completely replace the hood with a new part. These repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners who have already paid for a related repair should contact their Honda dealership about a reimbursement.
