Letter from constituent regarding Honda's 2013 Pilot recall (NHTSA recall 13v-382/campaign#jb5/service bulletin #13-075); he has been unable to correct the problem from american Honda motor CO. Or university motors; requesting assistance from NHTSA. The consumer stated he would like to have the long block and short block replaced. He stated he talked to three different automotive mechanics, and it was in their opinion that replacing only the short block of the engine was not a trustworthy fix. The short block repair performed under non-factory conditions, which could lead to contamination of the engine, that would cause serious issues and engine failure in the future.
