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).

Electrical system, softwareNov 1, 2013
American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Honda Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 8, 2006, through September 8, 2008. Due to a combination of system components and software, the Vehicle Safety Assist System (VSA) may apply the brakes unexpectedly.
The vehicle may suddenly and unexpectedly brake hard, and without illuminating the brake lights, increasing the risk of a crash from behind.
Parts to remedy these vehicles will not be available until the spring of 2014. Honda will send owners an interim letter notifying them of the issue and instruct them how to prevent unintended braking. A second notification will be sent when the parts become available. Interim notification was mailed in December 2013. The recall began on April 29, 2014. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009 or visit their website at www.recalls.honda.com. Honda's recall number is JC5.

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.

Service brakes, airMar 16, 2010
HONDA HAS NOTIFIED NHTSA OF A DEFECT IN CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2007 AND 2008 ODYSSEY AND ELEMENT PASSENGER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN JULY 28, 2006 AND AUGUST 21, 2008. AIR CAN ENTER THE VSA MODULAR PUMP DURING AN INITIAL SELF-CHECK PROCESS THAT OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER EACH TIME THE ENGINE IS STARTED. IT IS POSSIBLE FOR ENOUGH AIR TO ENTER THE SYSTEM TO RESULT IN A BRAKE PEDAL THAT FEELS SOFT OR LOWER TO THE FLOOR.
IF THE OWNER DOES NOT HAVE ANY BRAKE SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE PERFORMED OVER A PERIOD OF MONTHS OR YEARS, THE SYSTEM CAN CONTINUE TO ACCUMULATE ENOUGH AIR TO AFFECT BRAKING PERFORMANCE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNER AND HONDA DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VSA MODULATOR BY REMOVING ANY EXISTING AIR IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM THEN APPLY SEALANT AND CAPS TO PREVENT AIR FROM ENTERING THE BRAKE SYSTEM FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 3, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

I HAVE A 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE SLIDING DOORS DO NOT LATCH PROPERLY, WHICH COULD OPEN WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN SITTING IN THE CAR. I GET AN AUDIBLE CHIME TELLING ME "A" DOOR IS AJAR, BUT NO WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH. WHEN I COME TO A STOP BY HITTING THE BREAKS I HEAR THE DOOR FINALLY CLOSE. THIS IS A VERY SCARY KNOWING THAT I COULD BE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND MY DOORS COULD SLIDE OPEN AT ANYTIME. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES IN WHICH THEY HAVE REPLACED A FAILED DOOR LATCH AND TIGHTENED THE CHAIN AND THE PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN CORRECTED. I HAVE SEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THIS IN OTHER FORUMS AND I WONDER WHAT IT IS GOING TO TAKE FOR A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. *TR

WHEN I TURN OR GO STRAIGHT, WITH AND WITHOUT BRAKES ON, AT A SLOW SPEED, I HEAR A LOUD HORN-LIKE SOUND. SEEMS TO BE COMING FROM FRONT. I ONLY HAVE ABOUT 21,000 MILES AND BOUGHT IT NEW. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING MOST OF THE TIME WE'VE OWNED IT (ALMOST 3 YEARS). DEALER CAN'T MAKE THE PROBLEM HAPPEN. I EVEN LEFT IT OVERNIGHT. IT USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN I LEAVE HOME. I MAKE SHORT TRIPS TO SCHOOL AND STORE. IT IS SPORADIC. I HEARD ANOTHER ODYSSEY WITH THE SAME NOISE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT THE OTHER DAY. IS THIS COMMON? IT IS ANNOYING AND EMBARRASSING. IT CAN BE QUITE LOUD. SINCE I'VE HAD THE RECALL DONE, IT'S NOT AS FREQUENT. *TR

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN. WE NOTICED TWO SMALL STAINS ON THE CARPET IN THE REAR STORAGE AREA, WHERE THE 3RD ROW SEATS CAN BE STORED. WE TRIED TO CLEAN THE CARPET WITH RESOLVE, BUT THAT MADE THE STAINS BIGGER. WHEN WE VACUUMED THE CARPET, WE FOUND AN OILY RESIDUE WITH THE CONSISTENCY OF LITHIUM GREASE IN THE VACUUM ATTACHMENT. WE REMOVED THE REAR SEATS AND FOLDED THE CARPETING BACK. THERE'S A GRAY PANEL OF SOUNDPROOFING OR SOMETHING ELSE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE CARGO AREA, AND THAT PANEL IS DISINTEGRATING, LEAVING BEHIND A TARRY RESIDUE. THE TARRY RESIDUE IS WHAT REACHED UP THROUGH THE CARPET TO CAUSE THE STAIN. I DON'T KNOW WHY THE PANEL ITSELF IS DISINTEGRATING. WE PURCHASED THE CAR USED FROM A DEALER IN APRIL 2010, AND FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM IN JULY 2010. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 EX WITH 13,000 MILES AND BOTH OF THE TAILGATE (HATCH) STRUTS JUST FAILED SUDDENTLY ON 08/15/2010. THERE SHOULD BE SOME ADDITIONAL SAFETY MECHANISM ON THESE SO THAT THEY JUST DON'T COLLAPSE AND CAUSE HARM (THE HATCH ALMOST SLAM MY 7-YEARS OLD SON ON THE HEAD). BOTH CAN NOT GO BAD AT ONE TIME AND EITHER ONE SHOULD SUPPORT SOME WEIGHT. IT IS QUITE DANGEROUS. THESE LIFTGATE STRUTS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE BAD THINGS HAPPEN. HONDA SHOULD STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY PUT IN THESE CARS. *TR
