(RightIsRight.co) – Exposing yet another safety risk from foreign automakers, Honda has customers concerned about its latest recall of over 205,760 SUVs.
Specifically, popular models like the Passport and Pilot are threatening American families with potential fires and explosions due to a fuel leak issue.
This recall follows closely on the heels of Honda’s massive 700,000-vehicle recall just two months ago, raising serious questions about the company’s quality control.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall, which affects certain Passport and Pilot models from 2023 to 2025.
The issue involves the potential separation of the fuel filler neck tube and pipe, which could lead to dangerous fuel leakage.
This poses a serious safety risk, including the potential for explosions, engine damage and reduced vehicle performance, putting drivers and passengers in harm’s way.
While Honda claims it will inspect and repair the affected vehicles at no cost to owners, this recall is just the latest example of how foreign automakers remain on a trend of putting out faulty cars on the market.
This recall follows closely on the heels of its October recall of 700,000 vehicles due to a fuel pump problem, suggesting a pattern of carelessness that should concern every consumer.
Honda says it will notify affected vehicle owners by January 6, 2025. This delayed response leaves American families driving potentially dangerous vehicles for a whole month.
This recall was only issued after the NHTSA received multiple consumer complaints.
It also raises the question of how long Honda knew about this dangerous defect before being forced to take action.
Critics argue that American families deserve better than to be treated as test subjects for faulty foreign vehicles.
Concerned owners can check their vehicle’s recall status by entering their 17-digit VIN on the NHTSA webpage in the recalls section.
However, given Honda’s track record, consumers may want to consider supporting other automakers who prioritize safety and quality.
