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.

EVERY TIME IT IS RAINING AND CAR GOES THROUGH A PUDDLE THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR LOOSES POWER STEERING. HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AND WHEN GOING TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT RAINING AT THE TIME. THEY STATED THEY COULD REPLACE THE POWER STEERING PUMP & RESERVOIR AND IT MIGHT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING ON QUITE A FEW OF THE HONDA VEHICLES. I KNOW ANOTHER PERSON WHO OWNS THEY EXACT SAME MODEL AND YEAR AND THEY ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. LAST FEW TIMES IT RAINED POWER STEERING WENT OUT 5-7 TIMES DURING A 20 MIN DRIVE SO THE NUMBER OF TIMES IS INCREASING. *TT

DRIVING ON 2 LANE HIGHWAY WITH MY 3 KIDS IN THE VAN. THE BATTERY LIGHT COMES ON AND I HEAR A FEW BRIEF CLUNKS FROM ENGINE AREA. THEN I REALIZE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING SO I STOP QUICKLY AT A SAFE SPOT. I LOOK AT THE ENGINE AND SEE THE ACCESSORY BELT THAT DRIVES POWER STEERING PUMP, ALTERNATOR, AND A/C IS LOOSE. I SEE THAT THE OUTER RING ON THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY IS MISSING AND ONLY SEE RUBBER ON ITS OUTSIDE. IT'S OVER 100 DEG.F OUTSIDE AND WE'RE 10 MILES FROM ANYTHING. I CALL A FEW TOWING COMPANIES AND FIND ONE THAT CAN SHOW UP WITHIN AN HOUR. WE WAIT AND ALSO GET A HOLD OF A FRIEND TO PICK US UP AFTER THE TOW TRUCK SHOWS UP. THEY TOW IT TO OUR LOCAL HONDA DEALER. THE DEALER REPLACES THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY AND DRIVE BELT. TOWING WAS $153.40 AND REPAIR AT DEALER WAS $349.56. LOSING POWER STEERING ON NARROW TWO LANE HIGHWAY GOING 55 MPH IS UNSAFE AND THE CRANKSHAFT PULLEY SHOULD NOT FAIL EVEN AT 111K MILES. I HAVE OWNED THE VAN SINCE NEW AND HAVE ALL PROPER MAINTENANCE DONE (PREVENTIVELY REPLACED ACCESSORY BELT BEFORE AND TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP). *KB

SINCE EARLY 2010, THE STEERING PUMP IN MY 2006 ODYSSEY HAS BEEN MAKING AN INTERMITTENT WHINING NOISE. WHEN IT MAKES THIS NOISE, THE STEERING WHEEL BECOMES DIFFICULT TO TURN. A FEW DAYS AGO IT BECAME BAD ENOUGH TO TAKE IN TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. PRIOR TO TAKING IT IN, I NOTED THAT HONDA HAS 2 TECH SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS ISSUE, ONE TO THE REPLACE THE PUMP (DEC 2010) AND ONE TO REPLACE THE STEERING FLUID RESERVOIR (2009). THE BULLETIN FOR THE PUMP SPECIFICALLY STATED THAT THE PUMP DESIGN WAS INSUFFICIENT TO PROVIDE ENOUGH POWER FOR THE STEERING SYSTEM, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY A HIGHER POWER PUMP WITH A NEW PART NUMBER. I CALLED AMERICAN HONDA TO TRY TO GET THIS COVERED BY HONDA AS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A KNOWN DESIGN DEFECT (BAD STEERING), THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR $250 OUT OF A $750 TOTAL REPAIR BILL. MY CAR IS APPROXIMATELY 1 1/2 YEARS OUT OF WARRANTY TIME LIMIT, BUT UNDER WARRANTY MILEAGE (35000). I FEEL THIS IS DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE (STEERING) AND SHOULD BE SUBJECT TO A RECALL BEFORE A STEERING FAILURE AND SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR WORSE. *TR

STEERING WHEEL IN HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 MALFUNCTION. STEERING WHEEL LOCKS AND GETS VERY TIGHT AT LOW SPEEDS AND CAUSE VAN TO GET STUCK IN A POSITION AND ONE HAS TO TURN THE WHEEL REAL HARD OR ACCELERATE TO CHANGE POSITION. ESPECIALLY DIFFICULT WHEN MANEUVERING THE VAN IN PARKING LOTS OR MAKING SHARP TURNS AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. AT LOW SPEEDS THE POWER STEERING PUMP DOES NOT PUMP ENOUGH FLUID ACCORDING TO DEALER. THE FAILURE OCCURS ALWAYS A LOW SPEEDS AND IT LEADS TO STEERING WHEEL GETTING STUCK OR BECOMING VERY TIGHT TO TURN THEREBY CAUSING THE CAR TO GET STUCK IN ONE PLACE. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO HONDA AND SAID THIS IS MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALL THEY DID WAS STATE IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. I ALMOST COULD NOT TURN AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND COULD HAVE GOT HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME A FEW DAYS BACK AND ALSO COULD NOT TURN INTO A STREET IN TRAFFIC AND ALMOST GOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR BEHIND ME SINCE I COULD NOT MOVE. HONDA USA TELLS ITS CONSUMERS THAT THEY DO NOT COVER MANUFACTURING DEFECTS LEADING TO SAFETY ISSUES IF VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. SOON ENOUGH THIS IS GOING TO LEAD TO A LOT OF STEERING ISSUES AND YOU CAN CHECK THE WEB WITH THE SEARCH TERM "HONDA ODYSSEY 2006 STEERING ISSUES" AND YOU WILL FIND MANY INCIDENTS AS RELATED TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP. STEERING IS THE CRUCIAL PART OF ANY VEHICLE AND SUCH CALLOUSNESS ON PART OF HONDA DEFINITELY CALLS FOR A INVESTIGATION BEFORE WE SEE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS DUE A STEERING WHEEL GETTING STUCK. THE DEALERS DIAGNOSIS AFTER CHECK UP WAS TO REPLACE THE STEERING PUMP SO THAT THE PUMP WILL PUSH ENOUGH FLUID AT LOW SPEEDS AND NOT CAUSE THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET STUCK. THERE IS A POTENTIAL THAT THIS CAN ALSO OCCUR AT HIGH SPEEDS BUT FOR ME IT HAPPENS A LOW SPEEDS. HONDA ALSO DOES NOT ALLOW CONSUMERS TO TALK TO SENIOR PERSONS FOR RESOLUTION AND STATED CONSUMER HAS REACHED END OF LINE ONCE IT HITS THEIR PHONE SYSTEM. *TR

POWER STEERING FAILURE. BEGAN DURING COLDER WEATHER WITH WHINING NOISE FROM POWER STEERING WHEN WEATHER BELOW 40 F. THIS OCCURRED TWO YEARS IN A ROW. CURRENTLY AT SLOW SPEEDS < 30 STEERING INPUT IS MORE DIFFICULT AND REQUIRES MUCH MORE EFFORT TO STRAIN AGAINST THE STEERING WHEEL. HONDA WAS CONTACTED FIRST YEAR OF WHINING AND STATED PROBLEM WAS DUE TO COLD WEATHER. SINCE THEN I HAVE LEARNED THAT THREE SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED FOR SAME COMPLAINT. HONDA TSB 07-005 DATED 01/26/07 THEN REPLACED BY TSB 07-005 DATED 06/17/08 THEN TSB 07-005 DATED 08/21/09. THIS WAS A KNOWN COMPLAINT DURING MY INITIAL QUESTIONS AND NOW PROBLEM HAS GOTTEN MUCH WORSE. NOW I AM BEING TOLD VEHICLE IS OUT OF BASIC WARRANTY AND THEY WILL NOT COVER UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE TSB STATE DIRECTLY ON THE HONDA BULLETIN THIS IS CAUSED BY A DEFECTIVE POWER STEERING PUMP RESERVOIR. MY CONCERN IS THE POSSIBILITY AT HIGHER SPEED LOOSING STEERING INPUT OR CONTROL. *TR
