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 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.

Electrical system, Structure, May 2, 2010
DRIVER WAS SWITCHING LANE ON A FREEWAY. THE SIGNAL DID NOT WORK. ON THE SAME DAY, THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER SLIDING DOOR AND KEYLESS ENTRY DID NOT WORK TOO. AFTER TAKING IT TO HONDA, ACCORDING TO THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN ON 11/12/08, THEY CLAIMED IT IS A ELECTRICAL PROBLEM AND B-CAN DTC AFTER EXPOSURE TO THE WATER LEAKS. THE SERVICE BULLETIN CLAIMED WATER ENTER WHERE THE CONNECTOR C701 BEHIND THE LEFT REAR SIDE TRIM PANEL. THE CORRECTION ACTION IS SEAL THE PWR SLIDING DOOR PULLEY MOUNT, REPOSITION THE FOAM BLOCK, DRY CONNECTOR C701, AND APPLY DIELECTRIC GREASE TO THE CONNECTOR. IF THE ISSUE OCCURS OUTSIDE OF THE WARRANTY, A GOODWILL CONSIDERATION WOULD BE OFFER BUT NEEDS TO BE REQUESTED. I END UP PAYING HALF WHICH I DON'T THINK IT IS FAIR BECAUSE: 1) I PARK MY VAN IN MY GARAGE 2) MY VAN IS 4 YRS OLD AND IS ONLY 37K YOUNG, 3) I LIVE IS A RELATIVELY DRY CLIMATE, IN CA FOR THESE REASONS, MY CAR IS INDOOR 95% AND SPENDS 98% OF ITS TIME IN DRY CLIMATE. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS A DEFECT AND DOES CAUSE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE IT IMPACTS TURNING SIGNALS. ANOTHER REASON WHY I THINK IT IS UNFAIR IS THE DAY I GOT MY CAR BACK AFTER IT WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 5 DAYS, IT WAS WORKING WHEN I PICKED IT UP AND THEN BY THE TIME I GOT HOME, IT WASN'T WORKING. I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE WRONG AND I DON'T THINK THEY HAVE IDENTIFY A ROOT CAUSE. *TR

MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE FEELING 'SOFT'. I HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE CAR. THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE RECALL FOR THE SAME MODEL FROM 2007 TO 2008. HOWEVER, DEALERSHIP WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OUR CAR IS FROM 2006 MODEL YEAR. *TR

PLEASE REVIEW YOUR 10V-055000 CONCERNING 2005 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING'S REAR LIFT GATE SUPPORT CYLINDERS. MY VEHICLE IS A 2006 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE 36 MONTH/36000 MILE WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, MY WIFE DID NOT TELL ME OF THE PROBLEM UNTIL A WEEK AFTER THE 36 MONTH WARRANTY EXPIRED. HONDA SHOWS THE PART NUMBER FOR THIS LIFT CYLINDER AS 74820-SHJ-A61. THIS PART NUMBER WAS USED ON 2005-2008 VEHICLES. THE LOCAL HONDA DEALER AT FIRST WAS UNWILLING TO DO ANYTHING. AFTER I INSISTED HE CALL HONDA, HE INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN PROGRESS. HOWEVER, SINCE MY VEHICLE WAS NOT CURRENTLY A PART OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, THE BEST HONDA WOULD DO WAS PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS IF I PAID THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE LABOR. SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HONDA KNOWS THEY HAVE A BIGGER PROBLEM, BUT ARE UNWILLING TO EXPAND THE RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY ARE TRYING TO FIX THE LARGER PROBLEM ON THE CHEAP. AND THEN, ONLY IF THEY ARE CALLED TO TASK ABOUT IT. IT IS CLEAR TO ME, THAT AS TIME GOES ON, THE 2006, 2007, AND 2008 VEHICLES WILL EXPERIENCE THE SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE GET THIS RECALL EXPANDED TO INCLUDE THE 2006-2008 VEHICLES, AS WELL AS THE 2005 VEHICLES. IT IS THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR ALL VEHICLES, 2005-2008. *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

Power train, Apr 7, 2010
I BOUGHT A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY BRAND NEW WITH WARRANTY AND AT 20,000 MILES STARTED COMPLAINING OF A WHINING OR HUMMING NOISE AFTER TRAVELING DISTANCES OVER 30 MINUTES LONG. THE WEATHER DID NOT SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I COMPLAINED 5 SEPARATE TIMES TO THE DEALERSHIP, EACH TIME BEING TURNED AWAY BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T FIND AN ISSUE. AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, THEY WERE ABLE TO TELL ME THAT MY POWER STEERING PUMP HAD FAILED AND AFTER MUCH TALK WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND HONDA, THEY REPLACED IT COVERING 75% OF THE COST. THAT WAS IN OCTOBER 2009. ON MARCH 15, THE NOISE RETURNED AND I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ASSUMING IT WAS MY POWER STEERING PUMP. IT WAS MY POWER STEERING RACK WHICH AFTER DISCUSSIONS WITH SEVERAL OTHER MECHANICS SEEMS TO BE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS ALL ALONG. I NOW HAVE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE POWER STEERING RACK AT A COST OF $1500. I HAVE TRIED TO GET HELP FROM HONDA, BUT THEY CLAIM IT IS NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VERY SAME ISSUE ONLINE AND HONDA ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR ALL MODELS 2005-2007 AND SOME 2008 MODELS FOR POWER STEERING PUMP FAILURE. THIS IS A LARGER ISSUE AND A RECALL OF THIS ENTIRE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT OR MORE HONDA OWNERS ARE GOING TO RUN INTO THE ISSUE I HAVE. IF I DON'T REPLACE THE POWER STEERING RACK, FLUID COULD POUR OUT AT ANY TIME AND CAUSE ME TO LOSE STEERING AT ANY POINT. SO THAT IS WHY I AM HAVING IT FIXED IMMEDIATELY. I AM LOOKING FOR SOMEONE TO TAKE ACTION ON THIS. THE HONDA SERVICE BULLETIN WHICH WAS REVISED IN 2007, IS BULLETIN NUMBER 07-005.*TR

HONDA ODYSSEY REAR TAILGATE STRUTS FAILED COMPLETELY, CAUSING THE REAR TAILGATE TO "FREEFALL" WITH NO SUPPORT. LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS UNDER THE GATE WHEN IT INITIALLY COLLAPSED, BUT IT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I'VE SEEN THAT HONDA IS VOLUNTARILY RECALLING 2005 MODELS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT THE 2006 WE OWN.
Electrical system, Mar 31, 2010
I WAS CLEANING MY 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY WHEN I NOTICED AFTER LIFTING UP THE HOOD OF THE MINIVAN THAT THE GROUNDING STRAP FROM THE ENGINE CHASSIS WAS NOT ATTACHED TO A NON-PAINTED SURFACE ON THE CHASSIS. THE SURFACE THAT THE STRAP WAS ATTACHED TO WAS PAINTED THE SAME COLOR AS THE MINIVAN. I TOOK OUT MY OHMMETER AND MEASURED ABOUT 100 AND 200 MILLIOHMS FROM LUG TO CHASSIS AT TWO DIFFERENT POINTS. THIS IS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN WHAT IS ALLOWED BY ELECTRICAL SAFETY GUIDELINES AND E3 STANDARDS. THIS FLAW COULD CAUSE ELECTRICAL SAFETY AND E3 ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE.

VAN STEERING JERKS WHEN BRAKING AT HIGH SPEED
Other or unspecified, Mar 28, 2010
WHEN THE CAR CAME TO A HARD STOP, THE BRAKE MADE A CRAKING SOUND. ONCE THIS HAPPENNED, IT CONTINUED EVERYTIME THE BRAKE WAS USED. THE BRAKE DID NOT WORK AS GOOD AS IT DID BEFORE, I CAN NOTICE IT TOOK LONGER TO STOP. AT THE DEALERSHIP, DRUM SURFACE WAS RECODED. THE VAN HAD 3/4 OF THE BRAKE LEFT AND THE DRUM JUST NEEDED A RESURFACING CODING... IT ONLY TAKES ONE HARD BRAKE FOR THE PROBLEM TO COME BACK ALL OVER AGAIN. ONCE BACK THE BRAKE DOES NOT HOLDS ON THE TIRE LIKE IT DID PREVIOUSLY. I HAVE GONE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY TOLD ME THE ODDESSY HAS A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKE AND IT IS VERY COMMON BETWEEN ODDESSY DRIVES. THE PROBLEM KEEPES COMING BACK, AND IT DOES NOT MAKE ME ANY SAFER BECAUSE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE ODDESSY DRIVERS. *CN

OUR 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY'S BRAKE PEDAL WAS FINE UNTIL THE DEALER REPLACE THE VSA MODULATOR DUE TO FAILURE ON OCT 8,2008.THE BRAKE PEDAL FEEL VERY LOW AND SPONGY WHEN APPLY BRAKE PRESSURE. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM CHECK FOR PROBLEM ON OCT 16, 2008.THEY FOUND SMALL AIR POCKET IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND BLEED THE SYSTEM BUT STILL LITTLE LOW. ON NOV 9, 2009, WE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER FOR A 15,000 MILES SERVICES AND HAVE THEM CHECK THE LOW BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. THEY EVEN FLUSH THE BRAKING SYSTEM TWICE AND STILL FOUND PEDAL SLIGHTLY LOW. OUR QUESTION IS WHY DOES HONDA NOT INCLUDE OUR 2006 ODYSSEY IN THE 2007 & 2008 ODYSSEY RECALL AS WELL IF IT PRESENT THE SAME PROBLEM FOR OUR 2006. VSA MODULATOR WHERE SMALL POCKET OF AIR CAN GET INTO THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND CAN CAUSE LOW BRAKE PEDAL AND LONGER STOPPING DISTANCE. *TR
