1998 HONDA PASSPORT -- Vehicle description: Sport utility vehicles that are equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The vehicles can experience extended stopping distances in certain types of braking events.

Extended stopping distance could result, increasing the risk of a crash.

Dealers will provide a replacement computer algorithm for the ABS that is based on the algorithm used in Honda's MY 2000 and 2001 vehicles, which have not had the problem. This campaign will be conducted in phases, with the MY 1998 2wd vehicles covered first, since they have experienced the most problems. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

1998 HONDA PASSPORT -- Vehicle description: Sport utility vehicles. Paint was applied unevenly on the rear axles, resulting in insufficient paint hardness. Should this occur on the surface that contacts the rear axle lower link bracket bolt head and/or nut, the nut may loosen.

The bolt could detach fully, causing separation of the lower link from the rear axle, increasing the risk of loss of vehicle control.

Dealers will replace the rear axle lower link joint nut and bolt. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #00V058000 »

1998 HONDA PASSPORT -- Vehicle description: Sport utility vehicles. A ground connection terminal was not properly crimped in the supplier's engine wiring harness manufacturing line. This improper crimping process can leave an impression on the terminal that will eventually cause a stress fracture. S

If a terminal is fractured, the powertrain control module (pcm) can receive an erroneous signal indicating a high vehicle speed, thereby causing the pcm to cut the fuel, causing a 'no-start' condition, or a possible engine stall.

Dealers will replace the wiring harness on these vehicles. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #98V170000 »

1998 HONDA PASSPORT -- Vehicle description: Multi-purpose passenger vehicles equipped with a driver's side optional equipment rubber floor mat. Repeated movement of the driver's feet and actuation of the accelerator pedal can result in a shifting of the mat's position. This shifting can cause an interference with the accelerator pedal.

This could cause a restriction of the pedal's return to the idle position, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

Honda is asking for the return of the floor mat set and will reimburse owners for the cost of the rubber floor mat set along with any return shipping costs. For detailed information & supporting documents, see the official NHTSA page concerning recall #97V206002 »
