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.

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.

The passenger side back door kept forcing itself back open and/or closed. Depending whether we were trying to open or close the door. When it would force itself shut it has almost shut my head in the door. The door opened and then didn't stop and completely fell off the track and fell off. The door has always made an awful grinding sound when opening and closing.

THE POWER WINDOWS ARE NOT ROLLING DOWN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE BACK WINDOWS. ONLY THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOWS ARE GETTING ROLLED DOWN. WE LIVE IN FLORIDA AND DURING THE DAY TIME, IT IS VERY HOT AND NEEDS TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS TO ESCAPE FROM THE EXTREME HEAT. BUT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM, IT IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT IS BECOMING DIFFICULT WITH THE KIDS. I SEE SIMILAR ISSUE HAPPENING WITH MOST OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY OWNERS.

I HAVE OWNED MY VEHICLE FOR 4 YEARS NOW AND SINCE IT WAS FIRST PURCHASED IT HAS BEEN HAND WASHED AND DETAILED. I HAVE NOW ENCOUNTER MY PAINT PEELING IN PLACES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE AND RUST IN PLACES WHERE THERE HAS BEEN DAMAGE AS WELL. IN RESEARCHING THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS THE NUMBER ONE COMPLAINT FOR THIS CAR. I AM WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS FOR THIS. I SPOKE WITH HONDA BUT THEY INFORMED ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WASN'T THE COLOR THEY RECALLED PREVIOUSLY THEY COULD NOTHING ABOUT IT. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT AND I AND MY PARENTS HAVE BEEN LOYAL HONDA CUSTOMERS FOR 15 YEARS YET THERE ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING FOR ME. I WOULD LIKE THIS RESOLVED AND BE ABLE TO HAVE MY PAINT REPAIRED BEFORE I HAVE MORE PROBLEMS DOWN THE ROAD.

BOTH SIDE DOORS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THEY WOULD NOT CLOSE. AFTER 30-40 MINUTES I FORCED THEM CLOSED. HONDA TOLD ME THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM AS THE ROLLERS WERE CRACKED ON BOTH DOORS. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SINCE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE BACK SEATS.

2007 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING VAN PARKED IN GROCERY STORE PARKING LOT. USED KEY FAB TO AUTOMATICALLY OPEN TAILGATE. WHILE LOADING GROCERIES INTO THE BACK OF THE VAN, THE TAILGATE SUDDENLY, AND WITHOUT WARNING, DROPPED HITTING THE PERSON LOADING GROCERIES IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD, RESULTING IN A MILD CONCUSSION. THE TAILGATE NO LONGER STAYS OPEN WHEN OPENED MANUALLY, AND AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS AGAIN WHEN OPENED AUTOMATICALLY. THIS STRUT FAILURE IS SIMILAR TO THE ISSUES ON THE 2008-2009 ODYSSEYS THAT WERE RECALLED.
