Delphi Automotive Systems, LLC (Delphi) is recalling certain replacement fuel pump modules, part number FG1155-11B1, sold for use in 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The affected fuel pump may send an incorrect fuel reading to the fuel gauge possibly causing the vehicle to run out of fuel. The fuel gauge will always read 3/4 full to full regardless of the actual level.
A vehicle that runs out of fuel and stalls has an increased risk of a crash.
Delphi has begun notifying dealers and distributors, and will replace the fuel pump modules, free of charge. Owners may contact Delphi customer service at 1-877-411-8770. Delphi's number for this recall is GL14-004.

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (Honda) is recalling certain 2005-2010 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured June 23, 2004, through September 4, 2010. In the affected vehicles, the fuel pump strainer cover may deteriorate allowing fuel to leak out.
A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.
Parts to permanently repair the affected vehicles are not currently available. Honda will notify owners with an interim letter during May 2014. A second notice was mailed to owners October 6, 2014 when the remedy became available. Any vehicles that are currently leaking from the fuel pump cover will get a replacement, original cover. All vehicles, including those receiving the interim repair, will get an improved cover when they are available. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. The recall numbers associated with this campaign are JD9 (inspection and/or preliminary part replacement) and JE0 (final parts replacement).

Service brakes, hydraulic, foundation components, master cylinderOct 22, 2010
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2005-2007 ODYSSEY AND ACURA RL VEHICLES. BRAKE FLUID CONTAINING POLYMERS IS USED THAT ACTS AS A LUBRICANT FOR CERTAIN BRAKE SYSTEM COMPONENTS. IF REPLACEMENT BRAKE FLUID IS USED THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN SUCH POLYMERS, OR THAT CONTAINS ONLY SMALL AMOUNTS, A PART OF THE RUBBER SEAL LOCATED AT THE REAR OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER MAY BECOME DRY, AND THE SEAL MAY CURL DURING MOVEMENT OF THE PISTON. IF THIS OCCURS, A SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID COULD SLOWLY LEAK FROM THE SEAL INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.
A LEAK OF BRAKE FLUID COULD LEAD TO A CHANGE IN BRAKE PEDAL FEEL AND OVERTIME A DEGRADATION IN BRAKING PERFORMANCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SEAL FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

CORRODED SENSORS COULD SHORT CIRCUIT INTERNALLY. IF SENSORS FAIL, THE SRS WARNING LAMP ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL TURN ON AND REMAIN ILLUMINATED.

Service brakes, air, antilock, wheel speed sensorNov 15, 2004
ON CERTAIN MINIVANS, THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS) USES A SENSOR ON EACH WHEEL TO DETECT WHEEL SPEED. SOME SENSORS ON THE REAR WHEELS WERE INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, WHICH MEANS THE SENSOR MAY REPORT THE WRONG WHEEL SPEED TO THE ABS CONTROL UNIT.
THE DRIVER COULD EXPERIENCE A LOSS OF BRAKE FORCE AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE REAR WHEEL SPEED SENSORS. IF AN INCORRECT GAP IS DETECTED, THE SENSOR WILL BE REMOVED AND THE KNUCKLE CHECKED FOR CROSS THREADING DAMAGE. IF DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE KNUCKLE WILL BE REPLACED. IF NO DAMAGE IS FOUND, THE SENSOR WILL BE REINSTALLED CORRECTLY. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 12, 2004.

Engine and engine cooling, Jan 17, 2011
WE HAVE A 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY W/LESS THAN 65K MILES ON IT AND JUST HAD TO REPLACE BOTH THE REAR AND SIDE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE REPAIR BILL WAS $1041.65 PLUS THE LABOR TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE BOTH BY LEITH AND BAYLEAF. THE CRACKED REAR MOTOR MOUNT NOTICED BY LEITH HONDA ON CAPITAL RD. IN RALEIGH, NC. THEY QUOTED CLOSE TO $900 FOR JUST THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT REPLACEMENT, AND THEY SAID THAT THE OTHER MOTOR MOUNTS COULD BE BROKEN BUT THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO TAKE THE MOTOR OUT TO SEE. WE HAD BAYLEAF TIRE AND AUTO REPAIR IT BECAUSE THEY WERE RECOMMENDED TO US AND THEIR QUOTE WAS LOWER. THEY FOUND THAT THE SIDE MOTOR MOUNT WAS BROKEN AS WELL. CHRIS OF BAYLEAF SAID THAT THEY HAVE HAD ODYSSEYS AROUND THE SAME MODEL YEAR COME IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE AND HAD CALLED HONDA TO TELL THEM ABOUT THE ISSUE. I HAVE SEEN PLENTY OF EVIDENCE ONLINE THAT THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE MOTOR MOUNTS RELATED TO THE ECO MODE (DROPPING FROM 4 TO 3 CYLINDERS TO SAVE FUEL) BEING INSTITUTED IN THE ODYSSEYS IN THE MID-2000'S WITHOUT A CORRESPONDING CHANGE TO THE DESIGN OF THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHICH COULD NOT HANDLE THE ADDITIONAL VIBRATION. HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THE MANY OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE: HTTP://WWW.GOOGLE.COM/SEARCH?Q=HONDA+ENGINE+MOUNT+DESIGN+FLAW HTTP://GRASSROOTSMOTORSPORTS.COM/FORUM/OFF-TOPIC-DISCUSSION/HONDA-ODYSSEY-ENGINE-MOUNTS/30508/PAGE1/ HTTP://ACTION.PUBLICBROADCASTING.NET/CARTALK/POSTS/LIST/1560611.PAGE OUR CAR MAY HAVE NOT SET ON FIRE LIKE A REAR-ENDED PINTO, BUT THERE IS NO TELLING WHAT ADDITIONAL DAMAGE HAS OCCURRED THAT WE'LL HAVE TO PAY FOR IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE OF THIS APPARENT DESIGN FLAW. HONDA SHOULD RECALL ALL MOTOR MOUNTS WITH THIS FLAW AND SHOULD COMPENSATE OWNERS FOR REPAIRS RELATED TO THE APPARENT MOTOR MOUNT DESIGN FLAW IN THE ODYSSEY. *TR

POWERING STEERING ON 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVAN IS EXTREMELY HARD TO STEER AT LOWER SPEEDS. THERE IS A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH STEERING PUMP AS EVIDENCED BY SERVICE BULLETIN 07-005. THE STEERING WHEEL WILL MAKE WHINING, BUZZING AND STRANGE NOISES AND EVENTUALLY STOP FUNCTIONING. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND NOT JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN AS THIS IS A KNOWN AND COMMON ISSUE AMONG 05-08 HONDA ODYSSEY MINIVANS. *TR
Steering, Dec 30, 2010
2005 HONDA ODYSSEY EX-L - AROUND 50K MILES, THE POWER STEERING WAS INTERMITTENTLY HARD, ESPECIALLY IN PARKING LOTS. VERY LITTLE ASSIST. AROUND 64K, OUR MECHANIC PURGED THE P/S PUMP OF FLUID AND THE PROBLEM REMAINED. MECHANIC REPLACED OUR P/S PUMP WHICH SEEMED TO WORK INITIALLY, BUT PERHAPS BECAUSE THE ISSUE WAS INTERMITTENT. PROBLEM RETURNED. WE NOW HAVE 104K ON THE CAR AND LIVE WITH THE ISSUE OF HARD STEERING, ESPECIALLY WHEN PARKING. HARD STEERING MEANS THAT I NEED TO USE BOTH HANDS TO TURN THE WHEEL IN THE PARKING LOT. *TR

AFTER TWO DAYS IT IS STILL LOCKED IN THE RECOILED POSITION MAKING THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT UNUSABLE. WHAT DO WE NEED TO DO TO GET IT CORRECTED.

WE EXPERIENCED SIGNIFICANT SWAYING WHILE DRIVING OUR HONDA ODYSSEY 2005 WITH 4 OTHER ADULTS AND 2 KIDS IN OUR VEHICLE. WE WERE IN FAIRLY NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS, NO SIGNIFICANT WINDS OR ICY ROADS BUT JUST TRYING TO DRIVE OUR VEHICLE WE HAD TOO MANY DIFFICULTIES TO CONTINUE. WE FELT PARTICULARLY UNSAFE AND UNSAFE FOR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. WE ENDED UP HAVING TO CANCEL OUR TRIP AS WE WERE SWERVING AND UNABLE TO CONTROL THE "SWAY" OF THE VAN WHEN REACHING SPEEDS OF 55-60 MPH. WE WERE UNSAFE TO MANEUVER ON THE HIGHWAYS AND UPON A CHECK UP WE FOUND OUT OUR RIGHT STRUT WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN OUT, AND THE LEFT ONE ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED (ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE/VAN). WE HAD THE REPAIRS DONE AT RIVER CITY TIRE, DAVENPORT, IA AND IT WAS A SIGNIFICANT FINDING THAT THEY ALSO SAID WAS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVING. *TR

THE A/C CONDENSER HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE DUE TO IT BEING PUNCTURED FROM EVERY DAY WEAR AND TEAR. AFTER THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT, THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A PROTECTIVE SHIELD OVER THE UNIT TO PROTECT IT FROM FURTHER DAMAGE. I FEEL THIS WAS AN ENGINEERING FLAW AND WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED THE $678.81 THAT I HAVE SPENT HAVING THESE CONDENSERS REPLACED.

REAR LIFT GATE STRUTS FAIL WITHOUT NOTICE. AT THIS POINT, THE REAR LIFT GATE IS EXTREMELY HEAVY AND DANGEROUS TO ONES SAFETY. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS ISSUE HAS OCCURRED ON THIS VEHICLE. HONDA KEEPS REPLACING THE STRUTS WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER THAT CONTINUES TO FAIL. SAME REPAIR WAS COMPLETED ON THIS VEHICLE EIGHTEEN MONTHS AGO. I REQUESTED A BETTER STRONGER OR BEEFIER REPLACEMENT STRUT,BUT SINCE MY VEHICLE IS UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY THEY KEEP REPLACING WITH THE SAME PART NUMBER. I HAVE FOUR SMALL KIDS AND IF IT WERE TO FAIL WITH ONE OF THEM STANDING UNDER THE LIFT GATE IT COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

THE 05 ODYSSEY'S ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THIS PROBLEM. I'M SURPRISED THAT HONDA HAS LET THIS GO WITHOUT A RECALL. *TR
