Daily snapshot data starts accumulating once the scheduler runs — for now this is interpolated from the agency's first/last dates.

What is this? Some Honda cars made in the U.S. have a part under the hood that can crack and let the hood fly up while driving.

What's happening? The hood may open suddenly at high speeds, blocking the driver’s view and causing a crash.

Does this affect me? If you own a Honda Passport, Pilot, or Ridgeline bought in Germany or the Netherlands, check with a dealer.

What should I do? Ask your Honda dealer to inspect and fix the hood latch right away.
