Buying a used 2025 Honda Pilot? Check these 4 recalls first
For 2025 the steering lock-up recall is not among those listed; what remains is a critical fuel pipe that can leak gas, a software glitch that can stall the engine, a brake pedal that can shift out of position, and a third-row seat belt that can get trapped behind a side panel. Unverified complaints total 197 — more than 2023 or 2024 — led by forward collision avoidance, electrical, steering and service brakes, with 11 crashes alleged.
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.
- Confirm the fuel pipe recall was completed and check for fuel odor underhood.
- Pull out each third-row belt fully to confirm it isn't caught behind the side panel.
- Ask about braking feel, false collision warnings, and any stall or software updates.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
