Honda Passport Recalls

The Honda Passport has 32 recalls spanning the 1994–2026 model years, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2026 models where rear subframe bolts may not have been tightened properly, allowing the subframe to detach and cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability.

The 2021–2023 model years carry a brake recall where the fastener connecting the brake booster to the master cylinder can work loose and allow the master cylinder to separate, resulting in partial or complete brake failure. On 2023 models specifically, the inner ball joint housing in the steering gearbox can loosen and pull away from the steering rack, leaving the driver with no steering input. The 2023–2024 model years have a fuel filler neck that can separate from the filler pipe and leak fuel, raising the risk of fire. Rear suspension on 2019–2023 models sold in salt-belt states can corrode at the rear control arms, causing handling loss, an issue that also affects 2019 models with hood latch strikers that can break and let the hood fly open while driving.

The 2019–2022 model years have a recurring theme around the front passenger seat sensor that can misread the occupant and cause the airbag to fire unexpectedly in a crash. Rearview camera display problems appear across 2019–2023 production in a few forms: a faulty communications cable connector can prevent the camera image from appearing, and incorrect software can delay the image or cause the instrument panel to go dark until the next ignition cycle. On 2020–2022 models, the heating pads behind the side mirrors can fail to hold the mirror glass, which can then detach while driving. The 2019–2020 model years have a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine, and a tire recall covering Continental-equipped vehicles where overcured sidewalls can crack and lose air suddenly.

Going further back, the 1998–2002 model years have a rear suspension lower link bracket that can corrode and detach from the frame in salt-belt states. The 2001 model year alone had two separate airbag problems: the passenger airbag inflator could contain too much propellant and rupture violently in a crash, and separately, some inflators were built without a check valve pin, preventing the bag from inflating properly when needed. The 1998 model year accumulated several issues, including rear axle link bolts that could loosen and cause the suspension to separate, a wiring harness ground terminal that could fracture and trigger a no-start condition, an anti-lock brake system that could extend stopping distances in certain braking situations, and an optional driver's floor mat that could slide forward and trap the accelerator pedal. The 1995 model has a voltage regulator that can overcharge the alternator and stall the engine. The 1994 model has a camshaft seal plug that can work free and leak oil onto hot exhaust components, and front seatbelt buckles that can partially engage and release under hard braking or in a crash.
