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).

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 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.

LARGE PATCHES OF PAINT HAVE COME OFF THE HOOD, ROOF AND ABOVE THE PASSENGER-SIDE SLIDING DOOR. WASHING THE CAR WITH A STANDARD GARDEN HOSE NOZZLE RESULTS IN PAINT ACTUALLY FLYING OFF THESE BODY PANELS AS IF IT WERE BEING SAND BLASTED. THE FIRST TIME I NOTICED THIS (OCTOBER 2012) WAS LESS THAN ONE YEAR AFTER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY (DEALING WITH THIS PRECISE PROBLEM) RAN OUT. UP UNTIL THIS TIME, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE OCCURRED TO THE ORIGINAL OWNER TO AVAIL HIMSELF OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

I WAS NOT AWARE THAT HONDA HAD A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING PUMP. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR OVER A YEAR. MY LOCAL DEALER (AUTOPARKS HONDA, CARY, NC) IS TELLING ME THAT THE RECALL IS OVER AND THE EXTENDED RECALL IS OVER SO THEY CANNOT FIX IT AT NO COST TO ME. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HONDA WILL NOT REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP WHEN THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PART. IT IS STILL VERY HARD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. I REALLY LIKE MY ODYSSEY AND I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HONDA STAND BEHIND THEIR RECALLS. *TR

THE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON AND STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY FOR NO APPARENT REASON. MANY, MANY 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. FOR SOME REASON MANUFACTURE YEAR 2005 WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE MOST RECENT RECALL? WE GOT THE INITIAL LETTER TELLING US OUR AIR BAGS WOULD BE A RECALL ITEM IN THE SUMMER, 2014 BUT THEN NEVER RECEIVED A FOLLOW-UP LETTER. UPON INVESTIGATION ON MY PART I FOUND OUT THAT MY MODEL YEAR, 2005, AIR BAGS DID NOT GET RECALLED. BUT WE ARE HAVING THE SAME AIR BAG ISSUE AND SEEMS LIKE WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED ON SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY MATTER. *TR

THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS GOOD DESPITE A SHUDDER WE FELT AT 40 45 MPH. DRIVING IN JULY ON A 12 HR FAMILY TRIP AND WE HEAR A HIGH PITCHED WHINE ONLY UPON ACCELERATION. THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. LEFT US STRANDED 14 HRS FROM HOME. HAD TO BORROW A VAN FROM A FAMILY MEMBER TO GET ALL 7 OF US HOME AGAIN. THE CAR IS NOW IN THE SHOP , NEEDING A $2200. REPAIR. NOT HAPPY WITH HONDA!! THE 2000 ODYSSEY HAS HAD 3 TRANSMISSIONS PUT IN, THE 1ST TRANNY WAS RECALLED BY HONDA AND REPLACED AT NO COST @ 80K. THE 2ND TRANNY WE PAID FOR AND FAILED AT 180K. THOUGHT THE 2005 MODEL HAD THE TRANNY PROBLEM FIXED. APPARENTLY NOT! BUYER BEWARE! WE WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER HONDA. *TR

AIR BAG INDICATOR LIGHT ON AND OFF. AFTER TWO YEARS THE LIGHT ON MOST OF THE TIME AND IT WENT OFF AUTOMATICALLY FOR A WHILE THEN CAME BACK ON. I CALL TO AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR INC. THEY DON'T WANT TO CREATE A RECALL FOR THAT BECAUSE THAT WILL BE DIFFERENT COMPONENT FAIL IN THAT CASE. THEY JUST WANT TO CREATE THE RECALL FOR EACH COMPONENT BREAK DOWN. THEY NOT COVER THE REPAIR COST AND DEPEND ON WHICH COMPONENT UNDER WARRANTY THEN HONDA WILL NOT CHARGE THE PARTS. OTHERWISE WE NEED TO PAY ALL THE REPAIR. I REQUEST FOR THE RECALL FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON. BECAUSE A LOT OF THE OWNERS THINK THAT IS NOT IMPORTANT THEY THINK JUST THE LIGHT IS ON AND KEEP DRIVING. I WAS THINKING THE SAME WAY TOO. THAT'S WHY I WANT TO REQUEST THAT RECALL ASAP FOR THE SRS LIGHT ON SO WE WILL SAVE THE PEOPLE LIFE IN ADVANCE. *TR

OUR 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY HAD A TRANSMISSION FAILURE ON THE WAY OUT OF TOWN FROM GEORGIA TO FLORIDA OVER THE 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND. ON WEDNESDAY WE JUST HAD AN O2 SENSOR AND RECALL WORK (MASTER CYLINDER & ONE OTHER ISSUE) COMPLETED AT A HONDA DEALER IN GEORGIA. I THEN TOOK IT DOWN THE STREET TO GET TWO NEW TIRES PUT ON THE VEHICLE AT A TIRE SERVICE CENTER. THEY CHECKED THE VEHICLE OUT FOR TRAVEL, GAVE US THE GREEN LIGHT AND BAM! BY 6PM THE FOLLOWING DAY THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOIDS WERE BOTH REPORTED FAILED: P0746 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "A" PERFORMANCE/STUCK OFF P0777 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "B" STUCK ON P0741 TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH CIRCUIT PERFORMANCE/STUCK OFF WE HOBBLED INTO PANAMA CITY, WHERE I BOOKED A CAR RENTAL FROM THE AIRPORT. THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY ASSESSED THE ISSUES AS A TRANSMISSION FAILURE. WE HAVE RETURNED TO ATLANTA ON A 14 DAY CAR RENTAL SCRAMBLING TO FIND A NEW CAR. THE QUOTE FOR REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION IS $3K. THIS IS PROHIBITIVE ON A 2005. HONDA CORPORATION REFUSED A GOODWILL ASSISTANCE REQUEST. CASE NUMBER AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. AT THAT POINT I WILL HAS SPENT $3.2K ON THE CAR, $400 IN CAR RENTALS (IN GEORGIA WHILE SERVICE WAS BEING PERFORMED, AND FLORIDA TO GET HOME). MY GUESS IS IF I DON'T FIX THE TRANSMISSION THERE WILL BE NO TRADE-IN VALUE FOR THE VEHICLE. IT'S GOT BUMPER, INTERIOR AND FENDER DAMAGE, SO THERE ISN'T MUCH HOPE EVEN IF I DO GO FORWARD WITH THE REPLACEMENT. ALSO, THE ALPHARETTA SERVICE CENTER SAID THE TRANSMISSION FLUID LOOKED FINE, AND HONDA IN PC SAID IT WAS BURNT. THERE EXPLANATION WAS A PART FAILURE IN THE TRANSMISSIONS BURNED THE FLUID. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE TO HAVE AN EARLY WARNING OF A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE BEFORE A 330 MILE ROAD TRIP. *TR UPDATED 02/26/2015 *JS
