Recall Service & Dealership Highlights
Protect Your Drive
NHTSA recall information identifies five safety concerns for the 2020 Honda Pilot. Overcured Continental tires may lose air or separate, potentially causing loss of control. Software faults may hide the rearview camera image, engine oil pressure, speed, or gear position, reducing essential information and increasing crash risk. A certification label that loses weight ratings can contribute to overloading, while incomplete upper-member welding could reduce occupant protection in a collision. Waiting to check an open recall leaves a known safety concern unresolved. Hare Honda can verify the VIN and explain the free manufacturer remedy.
