Honda PILOT, assembly error during neck tube installation due to non-standard procedures

Country	South Korea
Category	Automotive
Published	2024-12-20
Manufacturer	Honda Korea Co., Ltd.
Models affected	PILOT
Units affected	245
Defect	In the production factory, workers did not follow standard procedures and changed the order for convenience when assembling the neck tube. As a result, during the process of connecting the filler pipe on the fuel tank side and the neck tube on the fuel filler side, the removal sequence of the pull tab, which secures the correct assembly position of the neck tube, was incorrect. This may have led to an imprecise connection between the filler pipe and the neck tube, and a recall is being initiated due to the confirmed possibility of fuel leakage during refueling in such cases.
Component	Fuel system, other
Remedy	Check and reassemble the neck tube connection.
