Good luck with your truck and accept nothing less than a correct fix.
I checked Alldata, and indeed there is a TSB... a quite lengthy procedure. It is listed as:

TSB06-068 10/04/07 Steering - Vehicle Pulls/Drifts to the Left/Right

The background listed... written for the repair tech:

New tools were developed to help you diagnose and correct a pulling and/or steering wheel off-center issue. There is a diagnosis worksheet included to take on your test-drive and record your findings. These values are used to build the 15-digit DTC (diagnostic trouble code) that is required for your warranty claim. The last step in each repair procedure helps you create the correct code.

The procedure (as I skim read it) shows several tools to measure the drift under various conditions.

Followed by a step-by-step process to find the cause... which seems to go to tires, toe-in, camber, frame... etc.

Covered in warranty, and under the "good-will" coverage policy.

So that is the TSB number (above), and the date.

There does not seem to be drive train related issues for this problem.. just the usual stuff any vehicle can encounter. And Honda makes available a special set of measurement tools specifically for the Ridge.
