I noticed the drivers side mirror on my 2021 is having the same issue as mentioned in this thread. I am with @tunahonda, not sure the dealer will make it any better. Is this only happening on the reverse tilting mirrors? I noticed from the signatures of the posters that most of them have the RTL or above.
GOOD QUESTION....MINE ARE REVERSE-TILT (which I personally see no benefit from) I figured out by accident that if you put the toggle switch in the middle it turns off this feature... left position - left mirror tilts... right position - right mirror tilts... I have an appt with the dealership to look at my mirrors tomorrow... Whenever they get fixed/replaced I intend to leave the tilt feature turned OFF.

take it to dealer, they will order replacement mirror. Waiting on mine to come in for them to replace as they are backordered
 
If Honda has not changed the design of the mirror, why would a replacement perform any differently? Hoping the dealer will fix the problem, but I am cautiously optimistic.

Someone referenced in earlier post that the same issue with other models was attributed to the adhesive used , so hopefully a replacement would not have that same issue

Took mine in today and the dealer confirmed my mirrors were 'delaminating' (the glue issue) .. She said the parts were indeed backordered and that when they come in they will schedule a time to fix the problem.... she said it usually gets worse in hot weather... I guess the glue is melting???

Better get this done in the summer, then.
 
RTLs and above have heated mirrors, not sure any Sports with unheated mirrors have reported the issue. Most likely a manufacturing defect as this has not been an issue in previous model years. This may end up being a safety recall as we will probably start seeing reports of the mirror glass falling off the vehicle. Pilot, PP and Ody owners are also reporting this problem.

I just got 2021 Pilot EX-L less then a month ago and the first thing I noticed when I took it to highway the reflection in driver side mirror were very fuzzy comparing to my previous car because of vibration. I immediately looked at passages' side and it was ok. I put a finger on the mirror why driving and vibration stopped. It's driving me nuts. I'm glad I found this forum. It looks like wide spread issue. This is definitely a safety issue. I pushed the mirror as other suggested and it fixed the problem for some time, but it came back. We should all report it to dealer so Honda get enough complains to issue a recall.
 
I have a 2020 CRV Hybrid and noticed this issue with the driver side mirror vibrating at highway speeds during our first road trip agree that it is a bothersome distraction and can be a safety issue, especially at night with headlights from different cars blurring together. I have searched for the issue before but haven't found other CRV owners with it yet (maybe they don't drive fast enough =p), but the issue is exactly as you all describe. I'll definitely be raising this issue with the dealership and reference this thread for back up. Thanks!
 
So I've had my 2021 RTL for a few weeks now and I have noticed the left mirror vibrates at highway speeds (60+), enough to make objects quite blurry. Best I can tell the housing itself isnt moving, just the mirror. The right side seems pretty solid. Such a minor issue but also rather annoying. Anyone have this issue or know a simple solution. I hate to take it back to the dealership for such a minor issue but it's brand new... Maybe something just needs tightening ??
dealership ordering a new mirror for mine..was real annoying…

Same here, should have never bought during this Covid mess. My driver side mirror is the same. You can try putt some contact cement on it. I’m waiting for a new mirror. No eta due to supply chain. Same thin happened to exterior trim molding. Glue came loose. Infotainment screen went black had to replace. 2500 miles. So much for Honda reliability.
 
Yeah, unfortunately we might be dealing with issues related to Covid interruptions and ongoing interventions for years.
:-(
 
It's by no means any kind of new issue for Honda.
Wife's 2019 Pilot had this on driver's side mirror right after we drove off the lot. Fortunately they replaced the mirror, and we haven't had any issues with in in almost 30k of driving.
That, of course, was before the current state of affairs w.r.t. supply chains :(
 
My driver's side mirror just arrived at the dealership. They installed it yesterday and one area left of center has a slight convex curve that was very noticeable. Tech made sure it was fully seated which did not help.

They had to install another one. Fortunately, they had received extras or I would be waiting another month.
