The US auto safety regulator closed an investigation into rear-view camera failures in over 129,000 Honda Ridgeline pickup trucks without further action. The probe was initiated after reports of wire-harness failures in vehicles that had already undergone a recall remedy.
The closure of the investigation means no further recalls or actions are expected from NHTSA regarding this specific rear-view camera issue for the affected Honda Ridgeline trucks, providing clarity for owners and the manufacturer.
The US auto safety regulator on Tuesday closed an investigation into rear-view camera failures in 129,092 Honda Ridgeline pickup trucks without further action. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) had opened a recall query in 2024 and upgraded the review to an engineering analysis in February 2025 following reports of wire-harness failures in vehicles that had received the original recall remedy. NHTSA stated that testing and inspections did not support concerns about the durability of the repaired wire harnesses. The agency noted that most reports it received were linked to different failure modes and could not be attributed to the specific durability issue under investigation. The Vehicle Research and Test Center at NHTSA conducted owner surveys, vehicle inspections, and durability testing, finding no rear-view camera failures caused by wire-harness damage and concluding the part is expected to last a reasonable vehicle lifespan.
