STEERING:RACK AND PINION:RACK
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Pilot vehicles. Due to a manufacturing error, the gear box assembly may contain a loose ball bearing, which can result in a loss of steering control or steering lock-up.
- What it can cause
- A loss of steering control or steering lock-up can increase the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the electric power steering rack, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 18, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is FFX.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 519 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 51% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2023 to 2024, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2023, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the steering 6 times before this, most recently in October 2023 as 23V704000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 244 complaints with NHTSA, 20 of them before this campaign was filed. 35 of those name the steering, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V054000 (seats), 25V391000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 25V031000 (fuel system, gasoline), 24V900000 (fuel system, gasoline).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on November 2, 2023 as campaign 23V735000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
