- What is wrong
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Pilot and 2019 Passport vehicles. The front frame left and right side upper members may not have been welded completely to the unibody. As such, these vehicles may fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and 219, "Windshield Zone Intrusion."
- Risk
- In the event of a crash, incomplete body welding may provide inadequate protection to occupants, increasing the risk of an injury.
- Remedy
- Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle for missing welds, free of charge. If the vehicle is identified as missing welds, the dealer will offer to repurchase the vehicle or provide a similar replacement vehicle. Owner notification began November 6 2019. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1‑888‑234‑2138. Honda's number for this recall is X6J.

The contact owns a 2019 Honda Passport. The contact stated that due to prolonged sunlight exposure, the interior foam fabric of the driver’s and passenger’s side sun visors were warped and swollen. The swelling caused the interior parts of the sun visors to poke through the exterior fabric coverings, creating a bulge that obstructed the view while driving. Additionally, the interior plastic housing had separated. The sun visors failed to stay in place and flapped around loosely, striking the driver’s head while driving.

I have has consistent problems with the braking system. It will brake and/or show the warning when nothing is there. The jerking of this has caused me to get in an accident June 2020 while moving to a new duty station. It was raining and there were no other cars on this highway thankfully. It was scary and I was even going below the speed limit. This caused my car to become nearly uncontrollable. My children and I were fortunately unharmed, but pretty shaken up. I had everything repaired and the same thing still happens to this day. That was only about 3 months after I purchased my car. I hear a lot of rattling as if something has come undone inside. Many times when I am driving I can feel the car jerk to a certain side or forward. That issue almost caused another accident in Feb 2021. I was backing out of a parking spot with plenty of room between myself and the other cars. My braking warning came on and it stopped my car. Then immediately it jerked back aggressively and almost hit a car behind me. Soon after I managed to back out and shift into drive, it jerked forward while stopping then jerking again. Although it is not all of the time, it has happened enough to cause accidents and almost a lot more. I think the 2019 Honda Passport should be looked into more and corrected. As these issues should not be happening.

As per other recalls of the 2019 honda passport we are having the same symptoms. The windshield area along both a pillars are popping and making noise. This is a problem we have been having, finally looking it up on internet we found that other passports of this year are being recalled for faulty weld spots. We have had this noise sitting at a red light, and clear good weather conditions and also while traveling down the road.
American honda has issued a recall of 2019 passports due to a life threatening, unrepairable welding issue in the body of the vehicle. The prescribed remedy is a new vehicle as the issue cannot be repaired per honda. Notice as given on 11/08/2019 but as of 11/28/2019, dealers have refused to conduct an inspection or to affirm that my vehicle does or does not have the welding error. Meanwhile, absent a replacement vehicle or an inspection, I fear for my safety and that of my family and passengers. It is cruel punishment during the holidays to have a brand new, expensive vehicle that may be unsafe.
