Known issues on the 2013 Ridgeline. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Six of them cover frontal air bag inflator modules, both driver-side and passenger-side, that can explode under long-term propellant degradation or moisture intrusion and send sharp metal fragments into the cabin, risking serious injury or death. A seventh covers the accelerator pedal assembly, which can bind so the engine fails to return to idle after the pedal is released, raising the risk of a crash. The eighth covers the frame, where road-salt corrosion at the fuel tank mounting bands can let the tank detach and leak fuel near an ignition source, raising the risk of fire. Owners have filed 45 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're pulling an air bag module, tracing a sticking accelerator pedal, or inspecting the frame and fuel tank mounts for corrosion, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2013 Ridgeline.
