Honda recalls over 200,000 SUVs in the US over fuel leak issue: See affected models

Honda is recalling over 200,000 SUVs in the United States due to a fuel leak concern, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The recall, which includes 205,760 vehicles, is due to the fuel filler neck tube and fuel filler pipe possibly separating, allowing fuel to leak. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire, the NHTSA said.

The recall affects certain 2023-24 Passport and 2023-25 Pilot vehicles, according to the NHTSA. Dealers will inspect and repair the fuel filler neck and pipe as necessary, free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Jan. 6, 2025, and owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is OKM.

Owners may also contact the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.

General Motors recalls over 132,000 Chevrolet, GMC trucks over tailgate issue

Another recall issued this week was by General Motors. GM is recalling over 132,000 trucks equipped with power-unlatching tailgates, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Tuesday.

The recall is due to the tailgate's electronic gate-release switch potentially short circuiting due to water intrusion, which can result in the tailgate inadvertently unlatching while the vehicle is in park, according to the NHTSA recall notice.

The recall affects certain vehicles with power-unlatching tailgates in the following models:

  • 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500
  • 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 3500
  • 2024 GMC Sierra HD 2500
  • 2024 GMC Sierra HD 3500

Owners are advised to check that the tailgate is closed and latched before driving, according to the NHTSA.

Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies, free of charge, and owner notification letters are expected to be mailed Jan. 13, 2025, the NHTSA said. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
