Honda recalls model year 2021 Pilots with Continental CrossContact LX Sport tires

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 214 model year 2021 Pilots with Continental CrossContact LX Sport 245/50R20 102 H tires with DOT serial number A376 D3K9 2920 and mold numbers S-421920 and S-421921.

The tires may have been cured for a time beyond the specification limits.

Over-cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss.

Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

What to do

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect all four tires and replace the tires that have the affected DOT serial number and mold number free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin January 11, 2021.

Owners may contact Honda customer service at (888) 234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is U8Y.
