What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? the rear subframe, specifically the passenger-side rear suspension mounting bracket, is failing due to severe, premature corrosion. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? my safety was put at extreme risk because a local authorized Honda dealership fraudulently closed out an active, critical safety recall (NHTSA campaign number 26v-365) without actually performing the mandated repair. They returned the vehicle to me to drive on public roads with a heavily rusted, structurally compromised rear subframe where the flange seams are actively separating. Driving this vehicle poses a critical, ongoing risk because the rear control arm mounting points could fracture and fail. Such a failure would cause the rear wheels to become misaligned or inadequately retained, resulting in a sudden and catastrophic loss of vehicle handling, stability, and braking performance. ?has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? the local authorized Honda dealership explicitly acknowledged the open recall during my initial service visit and stated they needed to order the remedy parts. They subsequently contacted me to bring the vehicle back under the pretense that the parts had arrived. They released the vehicle back to me and marked the recall as officially completed in their system. However, physical inspection of the undercarriage confirms the passenger-side subframe bracket remains completely bare, unreinforced, and heavily corroded. Because official corporate recall notices confirm that the required replacement parts are globally backordered until the fall, it is physically impossible for the dealership to have performed the installation, confirming they falsified the repair record and returned an unsafe vehicle. Prior to the dealer visits, I experienced significant shuddering and abnormal vibrations from the rear suspension.
Rear tires wearing out inside prematurely due to wheel alignment got off, install all new tires and did wheel alignment and found out that camber adjustment required to fix the issues but repair shop and even Honda dealer can’t adjust camber settings since camber is not adjustable in 2019 Honda Passport. Honda dealership told me to go somewhere else and have them install aftermarket camber adjustable kit? totally unacceptable. If can’t fix this problem then my tires will wear out prematurely again. Honda should recall this and have it replace with adjustable camber.
