Buying a used 2021 Honda Passport? Check these 7 recalls first

7 NHTSA recalls · 140 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Passport has 7 recalls involving brake-master-cylinder separation, fuel-pump failure, passenger-seat sensing, unintended passenger-airbag deployment, rear-subframe corrosion, mirror glass, and rearview-camera operation. Brake and structural recall work warrant particular attention in the service paperwork. Its 140 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with forward collision avoidance at 51, engine at 26, electrical system at 24, and power train at 23. The complaint categories should be reviewed separately from confirmed recall completion.

Before you buy

1. Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
2. Obtain brake-master-cylinder and rear-subframe recall repair records.
3. Verify fuel-pump, passenger-sensor, and airbag recall completion by VIN.
4. Check mirrors and camera; ask about collision-avoidance and shifting faults.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
