Known issues on the 2023 Pilot. Five recalls are on federal record for this model year. A manufacturing error can leave a loose ball bearing in the steering gear box, risking a loss of steering control or steering lock-up. The driver's seat cushion frame may not have been tightened properly, leaving the seat unable to adequately restrain the driver in a crash. The fuel filler neck tube and fuel filler pipe can separate, allowing a fuel leak near a potential ignition source. A software error in the fuel injection electronic control unit can trigger an engine stall or a loss of power. And an improperly secured brake pedal pivot pin can let the pedal shift out of position, preventing the driver from applying the brakes as intended. Owners have filed 134 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a steering gear box inspection to chasing an FI-ECU stall code or a brake pedal linkage check, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2023 Pilot.
