Why it matters

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and install a rear subframe reinforcement kit or replace the subframe, as necessary.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with a V6 engine, the connecting rod bearings could wear prematurely and become damaged. If this happens, the engine could make abnormal noises and a warning light may turn on. If you continue to drive the vehicle with these symptoms, the engine could fail.

Why it matters

An engine failure could cause a sudden loss of power and/or increase the risk of a vehicle fire. Both issues could increase the risk of a crash or injury.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect the engine. If damage is found, the dealer will replace the necessary parts.

Transport Canada lists: Passport 2019 · Pilot 2016–2019 · Ridgeline 2017–2020

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the hood latch striker could separate from the hood. If this happens, the hood could open while driving. Note: A loose or vibrating hood may be a warning that the hood latch is failing.

Why it matters

A hood that opens suddenly while driving could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Honda will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to inspect the hood latch striker. Depending on its condition, a striker support plate will be installed, or if necessary, the hood will be replaced.

What is wrong

Transport Canada lists: Pilot 2016

What is wrong

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 135 - Brake Systems and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 126 - Electronic Stability Control Systems. Due to a software error in the instrument cluster, Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), ABS and BRAKE warning lamps may not illuminate under certain conditions, which fails to meet the requirements of the standard. Failure of these lights to illuminate could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Note: The warning light will illuminate with next key cycle.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the instrument cluster software.
