2019 Honda Ridgeline. Consumer writes in regards to issue with wheel alignment. The consumer stated the vehicle was manufactured without the adjustment mechanism within the ball joint control arm. This prevents an alignment from being performed.
Nhtsa recall campaign number associated: 22v430000 (Honda codes aou/aot) my 2019 Honda Ridgeline is registered in maine (a designated salt-belt state) and has a completely rusted-through rear subframe. The local authorized Honda dealership inspected the vehicle and officially grounded it, stating it is fundamentally unsafe to drive and cannot pass maine state inspection due to structural failure at the suspension mounting points. Despite the clear language of recall 22v430000 requiring Honda to "repair or replace affected components free of charge" if they fail inspection, american Honda corporate has officially denied coverage. Corporate customer service stated they are not responsible for corrosion caused by winter road materials. This directly contradicts the purpose of this federal recall, which was issued because improper factory paint adhesion left the subframe vulnerable to road salt. Honda is actively violating federal law by refusing to provide the mandated remedy for a structurally failed, unsafe vehicle. American Honda case number: 1656861.
