Never as of today (Jan 2013)

SOME "Earth Dreams" engines are timing cain driven. That "new" 3.5L engine is slated to be delivered with the Pilot starting with the redesign due for 2014 models. However per Honda's press release here.

They only reference the 4 cylinder getting chain driven cams and balance shafts so I suspect the 2014 Pilot will still have that silly belt. 90K mile maintenance item, expect the bill for the 90K service at your dealer to be between 1,000 and 1,600.
