| Campaign | Component | What the recall says |

AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT WITHIN THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR CAN CONTAIN MANUFACTURING ERRORS.

Summaries are quoted verbatim from NHTSA's official campaign records. A single campaign often covers dozens of model years and several nameplates, so a summary may name vehicles other than the 1995 Passport — that is normal. Every record listed here carries this vehicle's own make, model and model year in NHTSA's database. Whether a recall is still open on a particular car can only be determined by VIN.

ENGINE CLICKING SOUND HAS BEEN INCREASING; OTHERWISE, MY 1995 HONDA PASSPORT DX RUNS WELL. TWO MECHANICS HAVE SUGGESTED THE LIFTER BARS ARE THE PROBLEM. OTHERS HAVE REPORTED THIS ON OTHER PASSPORTS OF THE SAME YEAR. THESE LIFTERS SEEM TO FAIL IN OTHER PASSPORTS (HTTP://WWW.MYCARSTATS.COM/CONSOLE.ASP?TB=R&MMMAKES=HONDA&MMMODELS=PASSPORT&YEAR=1995#REPORTCONSOLE); REPAIR COSTS NEARLY AS MUCH AS THE CAR IS WORTH! THE USE OF FAULTY PARTS THAT HAVE LIMITED LIFE EXPECTANCY WAS NOT COMMUNICATED TO CONSUMERS. *AK

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK, IT BEGAN TO PULL BACK AS IF I HAD THE E-BRAKE ON, WHICH I DID NOT. I TOOK IT INTO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MILEAGE IS SO LOW THAT I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, THAT THE TRANSMISSION OIL WAS DARK & BURNT. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR ONLY 2MONTHS SO HOW COULD THAT BE OUR FAULT IF THE DEALERSHIP DID THEIR SAFETY CHECK PROPERLY ON THE CAR. THIS IS A DEFECT ON THE PART OF THE DEALER WE PURCHASED IT AT (STAR FORD) AS IS THE FAULT OF THE HONDA DEALER. *AK
