The Verdict
The newest year, with a clean file so far: no complaints or recalls, but little time on the road to collect any.
Should You Buy the 2026 Honda Passport?
Owner complaints and federal recall records show nothing against this Passport so far, and its reliability standing is excellent. That is above average among 2026 SUVs and about level with the 2025 model, which also rates excellent. The clean record needs context. A 2026 car has had little time on the road, and complaints and recalls build up with age. Read the empty file as missing history, not proof that this is the strongest year the Passport has had.
No owner has filed a complaint, so there are no symptoms or mileages to report. Federal recall records list no recalls for this year. The 2025 model has 11 complaints and no recalls, though the data here does not say what those complaints describe.
Independent repair-cost data puts yearly repairs for the Passport at about $521, a figure for the whole model, not only this year. Before buying, run the VIN through federal recall records, since new recalls can appear later. A 2025 is a fair alternative given its similar standing.
