On these vehicles, the rear subframe can corrode at the points where the suspension is mounted. If this happens, rear suspension parts, such as the rear control arm, can fail. This affects vehicles sold in a number of states. Dealers will inspect the rear subframe and install a reinforcement kit, and repair or replace subframe components as needed, free of charge. A final remedy is expected later, and additional letters will follow once it's ready.

Reported Jan 29, 2026 · Campaign 26V054000 · Model years: 2024
Some Honda Accord, Accord Hybrid, HR-V, Pilot, and Acura Integra vehicles may have a driver's seat cushion frame that was not tightened properly. This can leave the seat loose. A loose driver's seat may not properly hold the driver in place during a crash, which increases the risk of injury.
Reported Jun 12, 2025 · Campaign 25V391000 · Model years: 2023, 2024, 2025
The brake pedal in these vehicles is held in place by a pin that was not secured correctly. Because of this, the pedal can shift out of its normal position while the vehicle is being driven. When the pedal moves out of place, the driver may not be able to press the brakes the way they normally would, which can affect the vehicle's ability to slow down or stop.
Reported Feb 5, 2025 · Campaign 25V056000 · Model years: 2025
Honda is recalling certain Honda Pilot SUVs because the seat belt for the third-row passenger seat may not work. The belt was routed incorrectly, which traps it behind the passenger side panel so it cannot do its job. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety rule covering how people are protected in a crash. Dealers will inspect the seat belt routing and repair it if needed, at no cost to the owner.
Reported Jan 23, 2025 · Campaign 25V031000 · Model years: 2023, 2024, 2025

Reported Nov 27, 2024 · Campaign 24V900000 · Model years: 2023, 2024, 2025
The tube that leads from the fuel filler opening to the gas tank, and the fuel filler pipe it connects to, may separate from each other on these Honda vehicles. When that happens, gasoline can leak out. Dealers will inspect the fuel filler neck tube and pipe and repair them as needed, at no charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 7, 2025.
Reported Nov 14, 2024 · Campaign 24V859000 · Model years: 2023, 2024
In these vehicles, the frame underneath the driver's seat cushion may not have been tightened properly when the vehicle was built at the factory. Because the frame isn't properly tightened, the driver's seat can end up unsecured instead of being firmly fastened in place the way it should be. This means the seating system in these vehicles does not meet the federal safety standard that covers how seats must be secured.
Reported Feb 1, 2024 · Campaign 24V064000 · Model years: 2020, 2021, 2022
Honda is recalling certain 2020 through 2022 Honda and Acura vehicles, including Accord, Civic, CR-V, HR-V, Odyssey, Pilot, Passport, Ridgeline, Fit, Insight and the Acura MDX, RDX and TLX. The sensor that measures the weight of the person in the front passenger seat can crack and short out. When that happens, the system may not switch off the front passenger airbag when it is supposed to.

Reported Nov 13, 2023 · Campaign 23V751000 · Model years: 2018, 2019
These vehicles have an engine part called a connecting rod bearing, and a manufacturing error affects it.

A damaged engine may not run the way it should, and it could even stop working suddenly while the vehicle is being driven.
Reported Nov 2, 2023 · Campaign 23V735000 · Model years: 2023, 2024
Honda is recalling certain Pilot vehicles because a manufacturing error may leave a loose ball bearing inside the steering gear box assembly. This loose bearing can cause a driver to lose steering control, or cause the steering to lock up completely while the vehicle is being driven. Either of these problems can increase the risk of a crash while on the road.
Reported Jun 29, 2023 · Campaign 23V458000 · Model years: 2021, 2022
A fastener that connects the brake booster to the brake master cylinder may not have been put together correctly when the vehicle was built. Over time, this can cause the master cylinder to come apart from the booster assembly.
Reported Jun 15, 2023 · Campaign 23V431000 · Model years: 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022
A faulty cable connector in these vehicles can cause the rearview camera image to not show up on your dashboard screen when you put the car in reverse. This means you may not be able to see what's behind your vehicle through the camera display.

Reported Mar 16, 2023 · Campaign 23V174000 · Model years: 2020, 2021

The recall covers the mirrors on both the left and the right side of the vehicle.
Reported Nov 29, 2021 · Campaign 21V932000 · Model years: 2018, 2019

On some Passport and Pilot SUVs equipped with certain Continental tires, one or more tires may have spent too long in the curing process during manufacturing. This can lead a tire's sidewall to develop a break, causing sudden air loss, or can cause the tread and belt to separate from the tire. Either problem can make the vehicle harder to control.
Reported Nov 20, 2020 · Campaign 20V725000 · Model years: 2021
Some 2021 Honda Pilot vehicles have Continental tires that may have been cured for longer than intended during manufacturing. These over-cured tires can develop a break in the sidewall, causing sudden air loss, or the tire's belt can separate, leading to tread or belt loss. Dealers will inspect all four tires and replace any with the affected serial and mold numbers.
Honda is recalling certain Pilot, Odyssey and Passport vehicles because of a programming error in the central network software. The error can cause several faults that delay the rearview camera picture or keep it from appearing on the screen at all. Because the camera image may not show when it should, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering rear visibility. Honda has corrected software available for the vehicles that are covered.
Honda is recalling certain Odyssey, Passport and Pilot vehicles. A software problem in the instrument panel control module can cause the dashboard to stop showing important information, such as engine oil pressure, vehicle speed and what gear the car is in, until the vehicle is turned off and back on. The same problem can also prevent the rearview camera image from showing up on the screen.
Reported Feb 6, 2020 · Campaign 20V067000 · Model years: 2020
On some 2020 Honda Passport and Pilot vehicles, the certification label may have been printed with ink that can be wiped away with a solvent. This can remove the information showing the vehicle's maximum axle and vehicle weight ratings. Without this label information, an owner may not know the vehicle's weight limits and could overload it. Dealers will replace the certification label, free of charge.
Reported Oct 31, 2019 · Campaign 19V784000 · Model years: 2019, 2020
On certain Pilot and Passport vehicles, the upper frame members on the left and right side at the front of the vehicle may not have been fully welded to the body. Because of this, the vehicle may not meet federal safety standards for protecting occupants in a crash and for limiting windshield intrusion. In a crash, incomplete welding may not protect occupants as well as intended, increasing the risk of injury.
On certain Acura MDX, TLX, and Honda Odyssey, Pilot, and Ridgeline vehicles, the teeth on the timing belt may separate from the belt. If the timing belt teeth separate, the engine may stall while driving. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the timing belt if it's affected. If a new timing belt is installed, the engine will also be inspected and any damaged parts will be replaced, all free of charge.
Reported Nov 28, 2018 · Campaign 18V848000 · Model years: 2019
Honda is recalling certain Pilot and Ridgeline vehicles because the mounting holes for a clip that holds the right center pillar trim panel may be too large. In a crash where the right side curtain air bag needs to deploy, the trim panel may not stay in place and could interfere with the air bag's deployment. If the air bag does not deploy properly, occupants face an increased risk of injury.
On these vehicles, the powered front seats may have been built with rivets that were not manufactured correctly. This affects the driver and passenger seats in the Honda vehicles, and the driver seat in the Acura vehicles. In a crash, these rivets can break, which can cause the seat to come loose from the floor of the vehicle instead of staying secured in place.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.
NHTSA lists 26 safety recalls covering the 2018–2025 Honda Pilot. 21 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Honda, Acura Rear Subframe May Corrode And Fail" (NHTSA campaign 26V365000), reported Jun 4, 2026.
Which Honda Pilot model year has the most recalls?
The 2019 Honda Pilot has the most, with 13 recalls. The 2025 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 4. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
Is there a do-not-drive or park-outside recall on the Honda Pilot?
No. None of the 26 Honda Pilot recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
How do I check whether my Honda Pilot has an open recall?
Enter your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall often applies to only some vehicles of a model year, and the VIN lookup shows the ones still unrepaired on your car. Recall repairs are free at any franchised Honda dealer, including for second owners.
