(Patriot.Buzz) – In another example of carelessness putting American families at risk, Honda has issued a massive SUV recall due to a potential fire hazard.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced that Honda will recall approximately 205,760 SUVs in the United States due to a fuel leak issue.
This recall affects certain Passport and Pilot models from 2023 to 2025, highlighting a worrying trend of quality control problems in recent vehicle production.
The issue involves the potential separation of the filler neck tube and pipe, which could lead to fuel leakage.
This poses a serious safety risk, including the potential for explosions, engine damage and reduced performance–all of which could put American families in grave danger.
Although Honda claimed to be taking action to address the problem, the recall raises questions about the company’s quality control measures and commitment to safety.
Dealers will inspect and repair the affected fuel filler neck tube and pipe at no cost to vehicle owners. Still, the inconvenience and potential risks to consumers cannot be understated.
This latest recall follows a previous issue in October when Honda recalled 700,000 vehicles due to a fuel pump problem that could lead to cracks.
Additionally, American automaker General Motors is also facing its own recall crisis.
GM is recalling over 132,000 trucks due to a tailgate issue affecting 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500, 3500, and 2024 GMC Sierra HD 2500, 3500 models.
The tailgate’s electronic gate-release switch may short circuit due to water intrusion, causing it to unlatch with no warning–another potential hazard for unsuspecting drivers.
Vehicle owners can check their recall status via the NHTSA recall check database.
As these recalls continue to mount, American consumers are demanding urgent measures to restore their confidence in our automotive industry.
