Honda Pilot 2019 air conditioner recirculation

Asked by Guru9BG7RW Jul 09, 2021 at 01:31 PM about the 2019 Honda Pilot

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Our 2019 Honda Pilot's air conditioning recirculation does not work.  It worked
when we purchased the car but now any outside smell comes into the car.  
Honda says it  looks fine except we can't keep outside diesel, smoke etc. out of
the car.

The Federal Government says that fresh air must be moving through the passenger's compartment at all times for vehicles that are 1973 models and newer. Even on the recirculate setting 25% of the air coming into the passenger's compartment is from the outside. So, unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it. Sorry! Jim

Could you please provide the federal government website where this is mandated and where to find it on the website? Thank you very much for your help.
