Known issues on the 1994 Passport. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. Two involve the front seat belt buckles, where a latch plate built outside design dimensions can let the belt tongue only partially engage and pull free of the buckle in a collision or hard stop. A third covers the engine, where the camshaft seal end plug can work loose from repeated cylinder head expansion and contraction, leaking oil onto the hot exhaust system with the potential for engine damage or fire. The fourth covers the alternator, where a manufacturing error in the voltage regulator's integrated circuit can cause excessive electrical charging that leads to engine control malfunction or a stall. Owners have filed 41 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a seat belt buckle inspection to chasing a charging-system fault or a camshaft seal oil leak, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 1994 Passport.
