Critical #13V382000 Plain English
Component

ENGINE

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The piston in your engine is a crucial part that helps your engine run smoothly. In some 2013 Pilot and Odyssey models, the piston might not have gotten the right heat treatment, making it wear out faster than it should.
Risk if Unfixed
If the piston fails, your engine could stall without warning, leaving you without power steering and power brakes. This could make it difficult to control your vehicle and increase the risk of a collision.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the engine's short block with a new one, completely free of charge. You'll get a notification when it's time to schedule the repair.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Manufacturer
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
What Happened
The brake-shift interlock is a safety feature that keeps you from accidentally rolling away while parked. In your 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, or 2013 RDX, this system might not work properly in very cold temperatures.
Risk if Unfixed
If it doesn't work right, you could accidentally leave your vehicle in gear without engaging the brake pedal. This means your car could roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will update the brake shift interlock mechanism to ensure it works correctly, and this repair is free. You'll receive a notice with instructions on how to schedule the fix.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. During sub-freezing temperatures, the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Original — Remedy

Manufacturer

What Happened
