Consumer Description

MY LOW BEAM PASSENGER HEADLIGHT SOCKET MELTED RESULTING IN THE HEADLIGHT TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. IT HAS SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED MY VISIBILITY AND INCREASED THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE SAME ISSUE HAS BEEN RECALLED IN THE 2003 HONDA PILOTS, SEE NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 12V136000. DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE SAME PARTS ARE ALSO USED IN 2004 AND 2005 HONDA PILOTS, THESE MODEL YEARS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR SOME UNKNOWN REASON. BASED ON THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE, IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2004 AND 2005 HONDA PILOT OWNERS. PLEASE REVISE THE RECALL PROVIDED ABOVE TO ALSO INCLUDE 2004 AND 2005 MODEL YEARS AS WELL. *TR
