A bed-cover cover that separates from a moving truck could create a hazard for other drivers and nearby people.

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your truck to a dealer for an inspection. If necessary, the dealer will install a tether between the center and rear panels of the tonneau cover to prevent them from separating. The dealer will also provide you with an updated accessory owner's manual and apply warning labels that remind you to properly secure the tonneau cover before driving. Note: Until the recall repairs are completed, you can prevent the tonneau cover from coming loose by removing and storing it.

During a car wash, water can drain from the truck bed onto the top of the fuel pump. Certain car wash detergents containing sulfuric acid could cause damage to the fuel pump. This could cause the fuel pump to crack and create a fuel leak.

The company will notify owners by mail. Owners will be instructed to take their vehicle to a dealer for an inspection of the fuel pump. If the fuel pump is cracked, it will be replaced. Dealers will also install a fuel pump cover. Note: Owners who smell a fuel odour or believe there is a fuel leak should contact a dealer immediately.
