What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a risk-of-harm product where a separated panel may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash or injury, but no specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling all Honda Genuine Accessory Tonneau Covers, part number 08Z07-T6Z-100F, sold for installation on 2017-2020 Ridgeline trucks. The recall involves 151,343 units.

If the tonneau cover is not properly secured in the open or closed position, wind resistance may cause the cover to flip and buckle. This can deform the hinges between the center and rear panel, allowing the rear panel to separate from the vehicle. A separated panel may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of crash or injury.

Dealers will install tethers onto the covers to prevent panel separation and apply warning labels, free of charge. An updated accessory user's information manual will also be provided. The recall began on October 26, 2020. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
