They found the front/right engine mount was broken, need to be replaced both of them and cost $820. I found a lot of Pilot owners has same issue. I think Honda should issue a recall for this.”

At a later date while my vehicle was at an authorized Honda dealer being serviced for an unrelated NHTSA safety recall notice 12v-573, I was informed that the front, side, and rear engine mounts were broken.
