Buying a used 2019 Honda Pilot? Check these 13 recalls first
The 2019 Honda Pilot has 13 recalls in this group. Engine bearing seizure and timing belt failure stand out alongside fuel pump, frame welding, rear subframe, tire, hood latch, and airbag concerns. Instrument panel and rearview camera recalls also warrant repair documentation. The 902 owner complaints are unverified reports; leading categories include electrical system with 263, engine with 233, and forward collision avoidance with 120. Those complaint areas warrant separate attention from recall completion.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific bearing, timing belt, and fuel pump recall repairs.
- Request frame welding, rear subframe, tire, hood latch, and airbag recall records.
- Check camera and instrument display operation; ask about electrical faults and collision warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
