Honda Tire Recalls Cover Air Loss and Repair Kit Hazards
Honda's tire notices combine tire failures, identification problems and tire repair kit hazards. Certain 2021 Pilots with specified Continental CrossContact tires and certain 2019-2020 Passports and Pilots with Continental tires face sidewall breaks or belt edge separation linked to overcuring. A separate notice covers pinhole leaks in Bridgestone tires on certain 2022 Odysseys, while certain 2024 CR-V tires lack the required four-digit date code. Two 2026 notices concern sealant bottle pressure that can eject the cap during tire repair kit use. Both cover certain 2023-2026 Accord Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid vehicles, with different CR-V Fuel Cell EV model-year coverage specified in each notice.
Warning signs to watch for
- November 2020 Pilot Continental tire recall — sudden air loss or tread/belt loss.
- March 2021 Passport and Pilot Continental tire recall — sudden air loss or tread/belt loss.
- September 2021 Odyssey Bridgestone tire recall — a slow air leak.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
None of these tire notices instructs owners to stop driving or park outside. The Continental tire notices describe sudden air loss or tread/belt loss that can cause loss of control. The Odyssey notice describes a slow leak affecting tire performance. The CR-V date-code notice identifies the risk of owners failing to recognize recalled tires. The June and October 2026 repair kit notices describe injury risks from a bottle cap detaching during use. Each notice does not tell owners to stop driving.
What the free repair involves
Dealer remedies are free. U8Y requires inspection of four tires and replacement of those with affected DOT and mold numbers. UA2 requires four-tire inspection and replacement as necessary. HBL replaces tires with pinholes, and BIS requires inspection and replacement as necessary. The June 2026 recall replaces the kit nozzle or sealant bottle. PPW inspects and replaces the nozzle as necessary.

Common questions
Which Continental tires does the 2021 Pilot recall identify?
The November 2020 notice identifies Continental CrossContact LX Sport 245/50R20 102 H tires with DOT serial number A376 D3K9 2920 and mold numbers S-421920 and S-421921. Dealers inspect four tires and replace affected tires free of charge.
Why are some 2024 CR-V tires recalled for a missing date code?
The July 2024 notice says the tire identification number lacks its four-digit date code. Missing information may prevent an owner from recognizing recalled tires. Dealers inspect the tires and replace them as necessary, free of charge.
Can a previously repaired Honda tire kit be included in the October recall?
The October 2026 notice specifically covers certain vehicles previously remedied under NHTSA recall 26V366. It includes 2023-2026 Accord Hybrid and CR-V Hybrid vehicles and 2025 CR-V Fuel Cell EV vehicles. Dealers inspect and replace the nozzle as necessary, free of charge.
