Overview of the Recall
Honda has recently announced a significant recall involving nearly 206,000 vehicles, specifically the 2023-24 Passport and 2023-25 Pilot SUVs. This recall arises from a potential hazard associated with the assembly of the fuel pipe, which could pose a serious risk of fire due to fuel leakage.
Potential Risks Identified
The affected models have been reported to have issues with the fuel filler neck tube and fuel filler pipe. If these components separate, there is a heightened risk of fuel leaking, which significantly increases the chances of a fire breaking out, thereby jeopardizing the safety of passengers and drivers alike.
