V-6 crankshaft, the connecting rod bearing
As someone looking to buy a Pilot this engine connecting rod issue is concerning me. I am looking at a 2021 with 27000 miles. But nowhere can I find any info as to if Honda has indeed fixed the issue on the newer V-6's.
Can anyone point me to a source that says the newer V-6's do not have this issue?
Below is the info on the issue.
Due to a manufacturing defect of the engine crankshaft, the connecting rod bearing can prematurely wear and seize.
If the connecting rod bearing seizes, the engine can be damaged and run improperly, stall, stop while driving, and/or not start, increasing the risk of a fire, crash or injury.
During production of the crankshaft, due to improper settings of equipment used to manufacture the engine crankshaft, the crank pin was improperly ground, resulting in crank pins with a crown or convex shape that are out of specification.
