Article content Honda is recalling more than 12,000 newer SUVs in Canada over a defect that could pose a fire risk during a crash. Specifically, some 12,083 examples of its Honda Passport sport-utility from model years 2023 and 2024; and its Honda Pilot sport-utility from model years 2023, 2024, and 2025 are covered by the recall campaign in this country. In the U.
S., a further 205,760 examples of both vehicles are affected. On some of these affected vehicles – built between February 14, 2023, and May 8, 2024 – the “ fuel filler pipe may not have been connected properly to the filler neck ,” says Transport Canada.
This means the pipe could separate from the neck during a collision, and if this happens, it could lead to a fuel leak, which increase the risk of a fire. Owners of these Hondas – the automaker says only about 1% of the vehicles recalled will actually have this defect – will be notified by mail to take their SUVs to their dealers, where they will be inspected and have the filler pipe repositioned if necessary. The recall is filed under Transport Canada number 2024-725; and the Honda internal code is HQ23.
