Honda Ridgeline problems by year
Owner complaints filed with NHTSA and recall campaigns for every Honda Ridgeline model year from 2019 to 2025.
Complaints by model year
Newer model years look better than they eventually will — complaints accumulate for years after a truck goes on sale. Complaint counts reflect how many of these trucks are on the road as much as how reliable they are. A best-selling truck collects more complaints than a rare one at the same defect rate, so these figures compare a model against its own other years far better than against a different model.

Common questions
Which Honda Ridgeline year has the most complaints?
Across 2019-2025, the 2019 Honda Ridgeline has the most NHTSA complaints at 231, and the 2024 the fewest at 48. Recent model years always look better than they will eventually: complaints accumulate for years after a truck goes on sale, so a two-year-old truck has not had time to collect them.
What year Honda Ridgeline should I avoid?
Complaint totals are a starting point, not a verdict — complaint counts reflect how many of these trucks are on the road as much as how reliable they are. A best-selling truck collects more complaints than a rare one at the same defect rate, so these figures compare a model against its own other years far better than against a different model. Open each year below to see which systems the complaints actually concern; a year with many complaints about one fixed-by-recall component is a different proposition from one with problems spread across the powertrain.
