Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 Passport.
The 2026 Honda Passport is a midsize SUV that achieves EPA fuel economy ratings of 19 mpg city, 25 mpg highway, and 21 mpg combined, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. With only 38 total owner complaints and a single recall, this model year sits at the low end of the model's complaint history, which peaked at 270 in 1998. This early reliability data suggests a strong start for the 2026 Passport within the model's long-running lineage.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
Within the modern 2019–2026 span recorded here, federal complaints and recalls trend sharply downward from the 2019 peak of 268 complaints and ten recalls to significantly lower volumes by the later years. The 2026 model sits near the end of that arc, posting 38 complaints—up modestly from 26 in 2025 and 15 in 2024—yet carrying only one recall, zero investigations, and six TSBs, the lowest service-bulletin count shown for any year in the dataset. Its leading complaint areas are seats (7), unknown or other (5), visibility/wiper (4), and forward collision avoidance (3), and the data does not specify root causes for these reports; notably, crash and fire complaints both register at zero. Although the small uptick in complaints from 2024–2025 interrupts the prior downward trajectory, the minimal recall and investigation activity indicates these reports have not escalated into widespread safety defects. Consequently, the 2026 Passport shapes up as a sound used-buy choice within this generation, combining relatively low factory-action risk with only isolated consumer feedback.
