2012 Honda Pilot — my model year is in a recall article but my VIN is not

2012 Honda Pilot EX-L, about 118,000 miles. News says my model year is involved, but the VIN lookup shows no open recall. Is that usually because only certain build ranges are affected, or can the databases lag?

If it were in my driveway, capture voltage while the 2012 Honda Pilot is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. If the cheap test changes it, stop and reassess. Had a similar mess a couple years ago and that's what finally sorted it. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.

Ask what changed right before it started. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2012 Honda Pilot, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. A shop burned me once by skipping that step. I'd rather look cautious in this thread than stuck later.
