American Honda Motor Company has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2008 Honda Ridgeline. They stated that on certain vehicles, the hole in the sheet metal front bulkhead that serves as the base and pivot for the hood support rod was not punched to specification. The hood support rod may fail to hold the hood in position due to insufficient strength.
If the hood support rod fails, the hood could fail increasing the risk of injury. This recall covers vehicles with the manufacturer dates of 10/18/07 thru 10/30/07. Dealers will inspect the prop rod base hole and, if necessary, install reinforcement parts free of charge. Honda has telephoned all owners on November 26 2007, asking them to bring their vehicles in to their dealers for inspection. A followup letter will be mailed during January 2008. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
