Known issues on the 2020 Passport. Ten recalls are on federal record for this model year. Central network software errors could delay or block the rearview camera image, and separately, faulty instrument panel software could blank out the gauge cluster and camera display, both cutting into the driver's rear visibility. The certification label's ink could wipe away, erasing the weight rating information needed to avoid overloading the vehicle. Some units left the factory on Continental tires that were overcured, risking a sidewall break, sudden air loss, or belt separation and a loss of vehicle control. Side mirror heating pads that weren't bonded properly could let the mirror glass detach, and a faulty MOST coaxial cable connector could keep the rearview camera from displaying at all. The in-tank fuel pump could fail and stall the engine while driving. The front passenger seat weight sensor could crack and short circuit, twice flagged for causing the air bag to deploy unintentionally or fail to suppress as intended. And the rear subframe could corrode at the suspension mounting points, leading to rear suspension component failure and a loss of handling. Owners have filed 93 complaints for the year, and the factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a camera or instrument-cluster fault to a rear subframe inspection or a fuel pump replacement, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2020 Passport.
