Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER filed July 18, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1910873 (ODI reference 11532949) concerns a 2023 HONDA PASSPORT and was filed on July 18, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 10, 2023. The vehicle had 8,500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA PASSPORT cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:foundation components:disc:caliper failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2023 HONDA PASSPORT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
