Honda has announced a recall of nearly 206,000 SUVs in the United States due to a potential safety concern related to the fuel filler neck. The recall affects specific models, including certain 2023 and 2024 Passports, as well as some 2023 through 2025 Pilots.
The issue identified by Honda involves the fuel filler neck potentially separating from the filler pipe in the event of a crash. This separation could lead to gasoline leakage, increasing the risk of a fire hazard. According to documents released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a manufacturing glitch during the installation process may have prevented a complete connection between the neck and the pipe.
