Buying a used 2024 Honda Pilot? Check these 6 recalls first
The 2024 repeats the 2023 recall set — critical steering lock-up and fuel pipe leak actions, a stalling software glitch and a brake pedal that can shift — and adds a second recall for a loose driver's seat, so two separate seat-mounting actions apply. Owners filed 112 unverified complaints, fewer than earlier years, led by seat belts at 24 and steering at 20, which echoes the steering recall. 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.
- Ask for recall completion records covering both driver's seat recalls.
- Test steering at low speed and full lock for binding or unusual effort.
- Check every seat belt retracts and latches, and ask about stalling incidents.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
