It can be inspected  by others until it is replaced. - Yes, it is a large vehicle manufactured when it was required to have a backup camera, I back out of my driveway onto a small private street that always has lots of little kids playing. - The dealer confirmed the issue, they have ordered the part and it is $350 to fix a $30 wiring harness because the whole bed and tailgate has to be taken apart. - It has not been inspected by manufacturer (though I read online that Honda has a note in the system to send them the replaced harnesses) or insurance. - There were no warning lights; however, at first the backup camera would only work in one position that did not align with the parking guides for a few months until it finally went black.  It also quickly flipped between views when the problem first arose.    To better describe the issue, I wanted to report a safety issue with my 2017 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition.  I saw that an investigation was already opened and there is a class action lawsuit from last year, but I wanted to formally add my truck to the ones affected by the same backup camera issue.  Mine appears to be typical to the many photos I saw online, it appears the harness that allows the tailgate to swing both ways gets abruptly folded over the bottom edge of the tailgate when it is folded down during normal use, this has resulted in snapping the harness/wires at this flex/pinch point.  It is clearly a design flaw and the issue occurs under normal use.  I do not use my truck for work and I would say the tailgate is moderately used.  My dealership called Honda and they said nothing regarding a recall, or even the first stages of that, are in the works.  My wife won't drive my truck without the camera and I back out of my driveway onto a street that always has lots of kids playing so I really have no choice but to fix it... which was quoted at $350 and they ordered the parts.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2017","productMake":"HONDA","productModel":"RIDGELINE","manufacturer":"Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)"}]}]}
