Service bulletins for the 2016 Honda Pilot

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

ATS1609032016-12-16. Service bulletin. SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:SEAT HEATER/COOLER. "TECHLINE SUMMARY ARTICLE - THE SEAT HEATERS OFFER PASSENGERS SOME LEVEL OF COMFORT IN COLDER WEATHER WHEN THE SEATS OR INSIDE CABIN TEMPERATURE ARE ON THE COOL TO COLD SIDE. BUT WHEN IT’S WARM OUTSIDE AND/OR THE INSIDE CABIN TEMPERATURE IS ON THE WARM TO HOT SIDE, THEY MAY NOT HEAT THE SEATS ABOVE THE INSIDE CABIN TEMPERATURE, CAUSING PASSENGERS TO THINK THERE’S SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE SEAT HEATERS. IF YOU GET A VEHICLE IN FOR THIS ISSUE, BEFORE TRYING ANY REPAIRS, BE SURE TO COMPARE SEAT HEATER PERFORMANCE AGAINST AN IDENTICAL VEHICLE (SAME MODEL, YEAR, AND TRIM LEVEL) AND UNDER THE SAME TEMPERATURE CONDITIONS THAT YOUR CUSTOMER NOTICED THIS ISSUE. IT’S IMPORTANT TO MAKE THIS COMPARISON USING IDENTICAL VEHICLES, SINCE SEAT HEATER OPERATION VARIES AMONG TRIM LEVELS."
ATS1606012016-12-16. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:RADIO/TAPE DECK/CD ETC.. TECHLINE SUMMARY ARTICLE - WHEN PLAYING THE AUDIO UNIT, ARE YOU HEARING A NOISE FROM THE SPEAKERS THAT SOUNDS LIKE A HELICOPTER HOVERING OR A CD SKIPPING? THIS NOISE SEEMS TO BE INFLUENCED BY THE NEURAL (SURROUND SOUND) SETTING. WHEN IT’S TURNED OFF, THE NOISE STOPS. WHEN IT’S TURNED ON, THE NOISE STARTS UP AGAIN. THIS NOISE IS ALSO CANCELED WHEN YOU CYCLE THE IGNITION.
ATS1607162016-12-14. Service bulletin. EQUIPMENT:ELECTRICAL:NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM(GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM). "TECHLINE SUMMARY ARTICLE - WHEN YOU START UP THE VEHICLE, THE NAVIGATION SYSTEM CAN TAKE FROM 530 SECONDS TO FIND ITS LOCATION ON THE MAP. SOMETIMES THE SYSTEM WONFT LOCATE IT UNTIL THE VEHICLE STARTS TO MOVE. THE REASON THIS HAPPENS IS THE DELAY OF THE GPS ANTENNA DATA BEING SENT TO THE GARMIN APPLICATION. IF ITFS LONGER THAN EXPECTED, THAT DATA MAY NOT BE PROCESSED IN THE NORMAL PROCESS FLOW, WHICH CAUSES THE EXTENDED DELAY. TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE, REPLACE THE AUDIO-NAVIGATION UNIT. REMANUFACTURED UNITS HAVE BEEN UPDATED. WEFLL BE RELEASING A SOFTWARE UPDATE ALONG WITH A SERVICE BULLETIN THIS COMING OCTOBER."
