Product Details

The Cardone Power Steering Reservoir line is built for drivers who need a direct replacement for a clogged, cracked, or leaking remote reservoir. On many vehicles, steering noise or reduced pressure is traced to the reservoir rather than the pump itself. This 3R-215 reservoir follows original equipment design and includes the cap, making it a practical replacement for a Honda Pilot power steering reservoir service.

For 2009-2013 Honda Pilot applications, this reservoir supports proper fluid storage and filtration where equipped. Cardone states that reservoirs with integrated filtration maintain O.E.-level filtration efficiency, and each unit is tested to confirm fit and function before use.

This part cross-references Honda 53701SZAA01 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Power steering fluid leaks from a cracked reservoir body
• Noise caused by restricted fluid flow in the reservoir
• Foaming fluid from trapped air in the steering system
• Reduced steering assist related to contaminated or restricted fluid circulation
• Heat-related plastic deterioration in the engine bay

Installation Notes and Tips

On the Honda Pilot, the reservoir may be located on the firewall, inner fender, or near the pump depending on the vehicle layout. Inspect the return and outlet hoses for cracking, debris, or internal breakdown before installation. If the fluid is foaming, bleed trapped air from the power steering system after service to prevent cavitation and pump damage.

Replace worn hoses and service contaminated fluid as needed to help restore proper steering system operation. Verify the reservoir location and hose routing against the vehicle-specific service manual before installation.

Quality Assurance

Cardone manufactures this reservoir from O.E.-grade material and tests each unit for fit and leak-free performance. The design follows original equipment specifications for the 2009-2013 Honda Pilot, and the included cap supports a complete replacement. Part number 3R-215 is built as a new replacement component for remote-mounted power steering systems.
