Of course it always a day late.

My 2003 Pilot is giving an EGR failure. We found out about the 80,000
warranty but I am at 82,500 and the dealership/Honda says sorry, we
will fix it for a price ($300).

I have seen lot of discussion about the older Accords and one comment
about the Pilot should not have the same problems as the ports were
enlarged. I do know that a TSB was published in 2005 on the Pilot and
the EGR but I do not know what it says.

Does anyone have the TSB so that I can correct this error.

EGR is not covered by the 80K federal warranty, only by your car's
drivetrain warranty. Some people with good relationships with their dealer
are getting the fix for free even though the car is out of warranty.

Call Honda customer service and complain. Many have got it covered that way.
The number should be in your owners manual.
