Honda’s 2016 Pilot non-compliance recall & FCA’s recall updates
Honda announced Tuesday it will voluntarily recall roughly 35,000 model-year 2016 Pilot vehicles in the U.S. to update their combination meter software free of charge.
According to the company, no market occurrences have been reported related to this non-compliance issue which was discovered via internal testing.
Honda says that the software error in the combination meter may cause warning lamps to fail to illuminate if there is a problem with the system that communicates certain system errors to the combination meter. The condition, if present, would create a non-compliance with several of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.
The company says the software update will correct the combination meter operation. Mailed notifications will be sent to customers beginning in late November. The affected vehicles can be identified here or by calling (888) 234-2138.
