Buying a used 2022 Honda Pilot? Check these 5 recalls first
The 2022 has the shortest recall list of these Pilot years: a critical brake failure risk shared with Civic and Acura MDX, two passenger seat sensor recalls tied to airbag risk, rear frame rust, and a rearview camera failure. Complaint volume is also lower, at 152 unverified reports with no fires and 7 crashes alleged. Notably, forward collision avoidance is the top complaint area at 41, ahead of electrical and engine. No stop-driving warnings.
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 the brake failure recall was performed on this specific VIN.
- Watch for airbag or seat sensor warning lights with a passenger seated.
- Ask the seller about false collision warnings or unexpected automatic braking.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
