Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA reports five air bag recalls for the 2013 Honda Pilot. Certain passenger frontal inflators may explode and send sharp metal fragments toward occupants, while an incorrectly installed inflator may not deploy properly in a crash. Another campaign concerns missing rivets that could alter driver air bag performance. NHTSA also reports an engine recall involving an insufficiently hardened piston that may wear prematurely, fail suddenly, and cause a stall. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. Even if the Pilot drives normally or you are unsure whether earlier work was completed, a prompt VIN check is a practical step toward protecting everyone in the vehicle.
