Honda SUVs

Honda is recalling more than 200,000 SUVs in the United States to address a fuel leak issue that could increase the risk of fire, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

Details of the Recall

The recall involves 205,760 vehicles, including specific models of:

  • 2023-2024 Honda Passport
  • 2023-2025 Honda Pilot

The issue stems from the possibility of the fuel filler neck tube and fuel filler pipe separating, potentially causing fuel to leak. The NHTSA warns that fuel leakage near an ignition source significantly increases the risk of fire.

  • Owner Notifications: Letters will be mailed to affected owners starting January 6, 2025.
