Buying a used 2023 Honda Pilot? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 139 owner complaints on file

2023 is the first year of the redesigned Pilot, and its recalls reflect that: two critical actions — steering that may lock up or fail, and a fuel pipe that can leak gas — plus a driver's seat that may be loose, a software glitch that can stall the engine, and a brake pedal that can shift out of position. Of 139 unverified owner complaints, seat belts leads at 30, followed by electrical. No stop-driving warnings.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the steering and fuel pipe recalls were completed before purchase.
3. Rock the driver's seat and press the brake pedal firmly to check for movement.
4. Ask whether the engine has ever stalled and if software updates were applied.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
