2015 Honda Pilot Service and Repair Manual

Known issues on the 2015 Pilot. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year, and three of them trace back to the passenger frontal air bag inflator. One covers inflators that can explode outright, sending sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants and risking serious injury or death. A second covers inflators that can explode after long-term exposure to high humidity and temperature as the propellant degrades. A third covers inflators that were installed incorrectly during a prior repair, which can keep the passenger air bag from deploying properly in a crash. The fourth recall covers the in-tank fuel pump, which can fail and stall the engine while driving. Owners have filed 108 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
Whether you're verifying an air bag inflator replacement, chasing a stall tied to the fuel pump, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2015 Pilot.
