There was a was a recall issued back in 2010 for the 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Mine is a 2006 but when I put in the VIN number it doesn't come up with a recall. I had the problem that you all are describing my vehicle caught fire from probably a faulty wiring harness.[XXX]. I am the 4th or 5th owner from the vehicle but it says that it was never recalled or it was never serviced. I am taking it to the dealership here today, and just want to know how to contact and who do you contact for more service recall information. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

After a little research I found that a recall had been initiated on those vehicle for the wire harness after removing the blower motor, the harness is melted ..this vehicle should have been recalled.

The air conditioner stopped blowing air. While researching the issue I found a recall for the HVAC blower fan. This VIN number model is displaying the same symptoms as the recall for the HVAC blower. I called the dealer and they said that my VIN model number doesn't have a recall or a recall for this issue. I think is a valid recall because it is pretty much doing the same thing.

On 1/9/18, while my husband was driving on a local road in fairmont, wv the dashboard on the passenger's side started smoking. My husband and his friend, stopped the car and exited the car immediately and called 911. Within minutes the smoke turned into a flame. The first responder was a police officer who did not have a fire extinguisher. It took ~10-15 minutes from the call for the fire truck to arrive and the cab of the car was consumed by the fire. It was put out but the entire cab was destroyed and hood and top of car were burned. We have notified honda corporate. They documented our complaint but nothing else has been done. Please see video below after the fire was put out: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0bwnkdo9rn4drv3pqbkfueusyavc4rejpqwzvzno3u0i1dgxv/view?usp=sharing concerning recall: http://www.leftlanenews.com/recall-for-honda-ridgeline-electrical-fire-issue.html

My husband was driving the vehicle when it caught fire and was totaled. There was a recall on the vehicle due to recall#10-012 which involved the blower motor in the dashboard catching fire. It was repaired by honda on 5/4/10. Either the work was not done or the repair did not work. Liberty mutual determined that the cause was the recalled blower motor and paid us for a total loss but did not subrogate against honda due to the expiration of an "implied warranty" on the recall repair (more than 4 years). If their repair did not solve the problem on this vehicle, it is doubtful whether other vehicles on the road were resolved any better. My fear is that god forbid my grandchildren were in the back of the vehicle at the time, they would have been injured. This is a family vehicle and my fear is that children riding in similar models from honda could be at risk. Is there a process to determine whether honda's fix took care of the problem or are these vehicles susceptible to neglect on the part of honda? What is the follow-up procedure on "repaired" recalls

Hvac motor stopped working. Looked it up online and found recall for HVAC wiring harness was issued . I purchased vehicle on 7/22/2011 (used) recall said honda would replace bad parts and install a cover to prevent passenger from kicking blower motor. There is no such cover. Local honda dealer says truck was serviced on 6/20/2011 by previous owner and all recalled parts replaced. I do not believe this truck was repaired at all even though they say it was and if it was why is there no cover? Now the same parts recalled have failed again and I do not think it is right that I have to pay them $500 to repair it.
