2011 HONDA PILOT — Complaint #1803352
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES filed March 23, 2022
NHTSA complaint #1803352 (ODI reference 11457979) concerns a 2011 HONDA PILOT and was filed on March 23, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on March 23, 2011. The vehicle had 5,300 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as visibility:rearview mirrors/devices, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA PILOT cohort independently describe similar visibility:rearview mirrors/devices failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2011 HONDA PILOT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
