What's wrong, in plain English
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.
What you should do
2. Contact a Honda dealer, or call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
