Pilot Water Pump Recall - ALERT! Check your VIN# - Honda Pilot

vegasdude · 08-28-2002, 12:30 AM

There is a thread that already covers this under MDX TSB but this is too important of an info. not to Alert Pilot Owners.

Please check your VIN# for recall. Timing belt could snap and cause engine failure.

Ooh ... good catch ... I'm affected ...

Looks like all early production PILOTs.

PrG, how do you figure you are affected? Isn't it #13603 through #17522? If you are "2003 Honda Pilot EX-L Nighthawk Black Pearl #7369" looks like you are OK, but at #15039 I'm not.

My VIN's 2HKYF1*****001069. Am I screwed as well? I think I'm OK since my last 5 digits are 01069 which falls out of range of #13603 through #17522. But then again, I've never been accused of being sharp. Thanks.

It affects me deeply when my fellow PILOT brethren's PILOTs have been recalled ... Right to the heart of my being ....

U r so funny Prg.

I think what we need is a GROUP HUG!

Looks like we are in the clear. Our Vin# is not in that range. However, we purchased ours in late June. Must have been just ahead of the water pump trouble.

Thanks for all of the posts regarding this problem. I checked the #'s and it appears that I am one of the chosen ones.....(14230). I have already spoken with my dealer service department and they were amazed that I already knew this. He is checking on parts for the recall and will fix me as soon as the parts are in.

I'm not sure that the owners of the Pilots affected by this recall would be so keen in seeing your glee in their misfortune...just a thought...

Almost the same but it did not indicate any VIN# for the Pilots.

Looks like I may need to be included in that "group hug"!!!

Im in the range, my dealer was clueless about the recall, and was kinda hasseling me about contacting them before i recieved anything from honda. He said they werent doing any recall repairs until honda siad to, had to let him go to look up my vin, im guessing im gonna have to do some serious *****ing to get them to fix it before i get my notice from Honda, I do realize that not every vin in that range is effected, but the least they could do is check for me.......ill let ya all know how it goes
