Full analysis: how to read the Honda PASSPORT recall history
Year range, common components, complaint patterns, and how to use this page.

Understanding the Honda PASSPORT recall history

The Honda PASSPORT currently has 14 recall campaigns indexed from the NHTSA public database. Each recall represents a formal campaign to fix a defect at no cost to the current owner. Owner complaints are self-reported incidents that haven't (yet) resulted in a recall but can indicate emerging patterns worth watching.

The most frequent recall categories for the PASSPORT in our dataset are fuel system (3), brake (1), and electrical (1). These clusters matter when you're shopping for a used PASSPORT: recalls in these systems tend to be the ones most likely to have been skipped by previous owners, because they aren't always visible during a routine test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

The tracked recalls span model years 2019–2024, with campaigns reported to NHTSA between 2019 and 2024. Not every model year carries every recall. Each campaign is scoped to a specific year range and often a specific build window, which is why a VIN lookup is the only way to know whether a particular PASSPORT is actually affected by any of these campaigns.

How to use this page

The safest path for an owner is to run your VIN through the checker above. A VIN query hits NHTSA's live API and tells you whether your specific PASSPORT has an open, unresolved recall. If you're researching a used PASSPORTbefore buying, use the recall list below to understand the model's full history, then check the seller's VIN to see whether prior owners actually completed the free repairs. Many don't, and unresolved recalls can linger for years.

Figures are generated live from the RecallScanner dataset, which is sourced from NHTSA's public recall and complaint APIs and refreshed daily. RecallScanner is independent and not affiliated with Honda or any U.S. government agency.
