BACKGROUND
American Honda is announcing a STOP SALE and safety recall for 519 units of model year 2023-24 Pilot, which may have improperly manufactured electronic power steering (EPS) gearbox assemblies. Due to a manufacturing error, a loose ball bearing may have entered the gearbox assembly.

If this occurs, the steering function may be lost, and the steering may lock up, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
If this temporary placeholder bulletin appears during an iN VIN status inquiry, the vehicle is subject to a safety recall. Any affected vehicles in your dealer inventory are on STOP SALE until further notice. Refrain from calling Tech Line for updates.
The following suggested text should be included on any repair order for an already sold affected vehicle that comes in for service. This information should be printed out completely any time service is conducted on an affected vehicle and the recall repair has not yet been completed. Once parts and repair information are available, the normal procedures under SOM 7.2.1 will apply for this recall.
Suggested verbiage to be included on the repair order:
Customer advised that:
