Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 1998-2002 Honda Passport vehicles originally sold or currently registered in the northeastern United States, midwest, and mid-Atlantic regions. The rear suspension lower link bracket can experience excessive corrosion from road deicing materials, which may cause the bracket to detach from the vehicle frame and affect handling and potentially cause a crash.
Owners should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 to arrange service at a Honda dealer. The remedy is free and involves inspection of the bracket area. If little or no corrosion is found, an anti-corrosive compound will be applied. If corrosion has damaged the bracket, a reinforcement bracket will be installed. In rare cases of severe corrosion, a repurchase offer will be provided. All inspections and remedies are free for vehicles 10 years old or less; for older vehicles, service must be completed within 12 months of the owner notification.
