The right rear outer brake pad wears prematurely. My Ridgeline just turned 100K miles. I recently installed the third set of rear brake pads and the second set of rotors. The caliper pistons and attaching hardware moved freely and was free of corrosion. I believe this issue is due to a faulty VSA Modulator, which allows air in the brake system/lines. The brakes with the least amount of air in the lines are performing the majority of the braking, therefore wearing those particular pads before the others.

I meticulously maintain my vehicles. The fluids are fresh, vehicle is always cleaned and waxed. I do not tow or take vehicle off road. I drive at speeds of 45 to 55 mph to my place of work on a daily basis . This issue is not from abuse but from some defects from the manufacturer. It is my hope that Honda will address this problem. The Honda Ridgleine and Odyssey share the same components so, it is fair to say the recall issues would be the same for both and therefore, a recall on the Ridgeline is justified.
