NHTSA Complaint #11645609 — 2017 HONDA PILOT

To whom it may concern, I own a 2017 Honda Pilot which recently stalled while I was driving on the highway, forcing me to pull over. There was no indication that anything was wrong with the vehicle at the time - no check engine lights, no warning indicators, no alerts - this happened suddenly and unexpectedly. My car felt like it lost power, the steering wheel became jerky, and I was concerned for my safety. All the warning lights on the dashboard then lit up, and I believe the car entered limp mode. Had I not been on an empty highway, I believe that it could have easily led to an accident. Fortunately, I was able to slowly drive towards a Honda Service Center nearby, who ran diagnostics and told me that the fuel pump had failed. The error code that their diagnostics reported was p0087: fuel rail pressure too low. Upon looking online, it appears Honda released a statement recalling 2017-2020 Honda and Acura vehicles in the US to replace the fuel pumps: [XXX] . This appears to be associated with NHTSA recall no. 23V-858. Based on the description in the notice, where an inoperative fuel pump can cause the engine to not start or stall while driving, I believe that my car experienced the exact same issue. My 2017 Honda Pilot appears that it would be included in this recall; however, when I check my VIN on the Honda Recall Lookup website, it claimed that my car has no active recalls. I believe this is a serious safety concern, and Honda should be expanding the recall to include the production batch when my 2017 Honda Pilot was manufactured.
