2001 Honda Passport

The 2001 Honda Passport has 3 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can explode during deployment, sending fragments into the cabin, and a rear suspension bracket that can corrode and detach from the frame, causing sudden loss of vehicle control.

The airbag concern appears in two forms: one where too much propellant causes the inflator to rupture violently, and one where a missing internal component causes the airbag to fail to inflate fully in a crash, leaving the front passenger with less protection than intended. The suspension recall affects vehicles registered or originally sold in certain northeastern and mid-Atlantic states, where road salt accelerates corrosion on the rear lower link brackets to the point where they can break free from the frame entirely.
