2021 Honda Passport recalls

A front passenger seat weight sensor may crack and short circuit, so the system may not switch off the passenger airbag as intended.
Fuel pump may fail and stall engine while driving
The fuel pump inside the fuel tank may fail.

A tie rod fastener connecting the brake booster and brake master cylinder may have been improperly assembled at the factory.
Rearview Camera May Not Display Image, Raising Crash Risk
A faulty connector in the MOST communication coaxial cable can prevent the rearview camera image from appearing on the display.
Side mirror glass can detach, reducing rear visibility
Heating pads behind both side-view mirrors may not be bonded properly, so the mirror glass can come loose and detach from the housing.

What owners report
Auto start/stop will sometimes not re-start the engine after letting off the brake.
I was at a traffic light, when the light turned green I gave the car gas it hesitated, then went into neutral, the battery sign showed on the dash, the car would not go. I was 1 line under half a tank of gas, so I wasnât empty. Also, just before this happened the radio became full of static on an FM channel. It wouldnât allow me to switch to park to try and restart it. Scary and Frustrating!!!
