2026 Honda Passport — reported problems

What owners report: issue areas

Owner complaints are classified by the system they concern: 77 classifications in all. One complaint can concern several systems, so these add up to more than the number of complaints.

• Driver-assistance systems14 (18.2%)Official recall records for this system: 3, covering model years 2019–2023.
• Electrical system9 (11.7%)Official recall records for this system: 5, covering model years 1995–2020.

• Visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors)7 (9.1%)Official recall records for this system: 12, covering model years 2019–2023.
• Engine5 (6.5%)

Other / uncategorized: 11 classifications (14.3%) were not assigned to a specific system by the source. They are counted but not treated as an issue area.

These are counts of records held by CarFaultIQ, not a failure rate. More records can simply mean more vehicles were sold or more owners reported. No vehicles-in-service figure exists in this data, so no reliability or risk score can be derived from it.

What the records are about, by source

Each source is kept separate: owner complaints, recalls, manufacturer communications and investigations are different kinds of record and are never added together. All model years.

• Owner complaints (3,162 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: driver-assistance systems, brakes and body & structure.
• Safety recalls (81 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, suspension and air bags (restraint system).
• Transport Canada recalls (54 records, model years 2019–2026) are most frequently classified under: fuel system, visibility (glass, wipers, mirrors) and seat belts.
• Manufacturer communications (1,454 records, model years 1995–2026) are most frequently classified under: electrical system, equipment & accessories and engine.

"Most frequently classified under" reports how the records are filed by the source. It is not a finding about causes, and a record can be filed under more than one system. Read the individual records
