## What is wrong

Honda is recalling certain model year 2013 Pilot 2WD and 4WD vehicles and certain model year 2013 Odyssey vehicles.  During manufacturing of the engine piston, it is possible that the heat treatment process was not properly applied, resulting in the piston having an insufficient hardness level, making it more susceptible to premature wear.


## What can happen

A worn piston may suddenly fail, causing the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the engine short block free of charge.  The recall began on September 16, 2013.  Owners may contact Honda at 1\-800\-999\-1009.  Honda's recall numbers are JB4 \(Honda Odyssey\) and JB5 \(Honda Pilot\).


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
