Buying a used 2023 Honda Passport? Check these 5 recalls first
Small recall list but weighted toward serious items: three critical recalls — brake failure risk, possible loss of steering control, and a fuel pipe that may leak gas — plus rear frame rust-through and a rearview camera failure. NHTSA shows only 38 unverified owner complaints, the fewest here, but seven injuries and three crashes are reported, and service brakes is a top complaint area alongside forward collision avoidance.
Before you buy
- 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.
- Confirm brake, steering and fuel pipe recalls all closed
- Check for fuel smell under the hood and underbody
- Ask about steering feel, pulling, or warning lights
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
