- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 18V848000
- Manufacturer's number: D3D
- Manufacturer: Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\)

## What is wrong

Honda \(American Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain 2019 Honda Ridgeline and Pilot vehicles.  The mounting holes for the clip that secures the right center pillar trim panel may be larger than intended.   In the event of a crash necessitating right side curtain air bag deployment, the clip may not hold the center pillar  trim panel in position and it may potentially interfere with the curtain air bag deployment.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 214, "Side Impact Protection," and 226, "Ejection Mitigation."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, if the curtain air bag does not deploy as intended, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket on the right center pillar that will securely hold the center pillar trim clip, free of charge.  The recall began January 22, 2019.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's number for this recall is D3D.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
