Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Passport.
The 2022 Honda Passport routes power through a 9-speed automatic transmission to deliver an EPA-rated 19/24/21 mpg, operating with a 5.4-quart, 0W-20 viscosity oil capacity. From a reliability standpoint, this model year carries 4 recalls and 55 total owner complaints predominantly focused on the electrical system. While this positions the 2022 Passport far better than the model's historically problematic 1998 peak of 270 complaints, its figures notably trail the 15-complaint low set by the 2024 model year, meaning it escapes the severe pitfalls of earlier generations but falls short of the nameplate's modern reliability ceiling.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Honda Passport sits in the middle of the current generation’s arc, and the federal record shows a clear downward trend in complaints and recalls from the model’s 2019 reintroduction. Complaints dropped from 268 in 2019 to 55 in 2022, and recalls fell from 10 in each of the first two years to 4 in 2022—a sign that Honda addressed many early issues through the 183 TSBs issued for 2019 and subsequent service bulletins. The 2022 model’s top complaint areas are electrical system (5) and forward collision avoidance (4), but it logged only one crash complaint and zero fire complaints, indicating no widespread safety crisis. Compared to the 2021 model (128 complaints, 7 recalls) and the 2023 model (33 complaints, 5 recalls), the 2022 sits in a sweet spot: it has far fewer issues than the early years but still benefits from the same investigation level (3) as the problematic 2019-2021 models, suggesting lingering scrutiny. Overall, the 2022 Honda Passport is a good year to buy if you want a used model that has already benefited from the manufacturer’s early-generation fixes, though you should verify that all relevant TSBs have been applied, especially for the electrical and brake systems.
