2025 Honda Pilot recalls
Service brakes, hydraulic: pedals and linkages
NHTSA campaign 25V391000 · reported June 12, 2025 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) · 259,033 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2021-2025 Acura TLX, 2023-2025 Acura MDX, and 2023-2025 Honda Pilot vehicles. The brake pedal pivot pin was not secured properly, which can cause the pedal to shift out of position. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment" and 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
- The risk
- A brake pedal that shifts out of position can prevent the driver from applying the brakes as intended, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

My 2025 Honda Pilot TrailSport has lost electric power steering assist twice.

The Honda dealer replaced the steering rack under warranty. Second failure, about…

My car would rev without increasing speed and would jerk with braking and acceleration.

Oct 20, 2026 · Air bags
There is a constant clicking noise when turning the steering wheel which seems to come from the clock spring. I have verified this same issue on two other 2025 models, and although it does not currently affect vehicle safety, it could potentially do so in the future.
