STRUCTURE:BODY:ROOF AND PILLARS

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2019 Honda Ridgeline and Pilot vehicles.

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."

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