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.

Steering, Oct 26, 2014
THE CONDITION WAS FIRST NOTICED SHORTLY AFTER AQUIRING THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING LOT WHILE TRYING TO NEGOTIATE A TURN. THE VEHICLE STEERING WAS NORMAL AT FIRST AND THEN SUDDENLY REQUIRED EXCESSIVE FORCE TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. HEAVY BRAKING WAS REQUIRED TO AVOID A COLLISION WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THIS EXPERIENCE, AFTER GETTING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION, I ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL BOTH DIRECTIONS WHILE STOPPED AND AT LOW SPEEDS, (APPROXIMATELY 0-10 MPH) AND NOTICED THE CONDITION CONSISTANTLY FOR APPROXIMATELY 2-3 MINUTES. I THEN PARKED THE VEHICLE. I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS WITHIN THE MIN AND MAX LEVELS. AFTER RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE LATER THAT DAY, THE STEERING WAS FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE CONDITION HAS SINCE COME AND GONE SEVERAL TIMES (APPROXIMATELY 1-2 TIMES / WEEK) AND MY HONDA DEALER HAS JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF SAYING THAT IF I CAN'T REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM WHILE AT THEIR SHOP, THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH A 2006 HONDA ODYSSEY AND THE DEALER REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT EVEN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT THERE ARE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ISSUED BY HONDA TO THEIR DEALERS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE, BUT THE DEALER STILL REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE SAFETY ISSUE ARRISES ESPECIALLY WHEN SOMEONE UNFAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE DRIVES IT AS WHEN MY MOTHER USED MY VAN TO TRANSPORT MY THREE CHILDREN. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO PULL OUR INTO TRAFFIC SHE WAS UNABLE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE IN HER LANE. FORTUNATELY THE OTHER DRIVER WAS ABLE TO AVOID HER. I UNDERSTAND THAT VEHICLE COMPONENTS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO LAST FOREVER AND I DO NOT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH REPAIRS. HOWEVER, THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE FROM THE MANUFACTURER WHICH THEY ARE VERY RELUCTANT TO CORRECT. DATE & MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. *TR
Engine, Oct 24, 2014
MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING VAN HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE ICON APPEARING ON MY DASH. I CALLED MY DEALER, FOR THIS PROBLEM WASN'T RESOLVED ON THE LAST SERVICE VISIT. THEY SAID TO BRING IT IN. I ADDED 3/4 QT. OF OIL DUE TO THE OIL LEVEL, AT LAST CHECK FINE, NOW INDICATED THE LEVEL TO BE AT ITS LOWEST POINT IN THE APPROVED RANGE FOR RUNABILITY. SERVICES PERFORMED, AND WHEN I PICKED IT UP, I NOTICED THE ENGINE ICON STILL FLASHING ON THE DASH. WENT IN TO GET A SERVICE ADVISOR TO VIEW, AND ON A SECOND RE-START THIS HAD DISAPPEARED. THINKING ALL WAS NOW WELL (AND WAS THIS POSSIBLY TIED TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVICE?), TOOK THE VEHICLE ABOUT 35 MILES HOME TO A GROCERY STORE. WHEN I HAD FINISHED SHOPPING, AND STARTED MY VAN, THERE IT WAS AGAIN, THE ENGINE ICON, FLASHING AWAY. THE NEXT DAY I REPORTED THIS TO MY DEALER, AND THEY SAID BRING IT IN. AS THE ENGINE WAS VISIBLY HOT, I SAID I WOULD TRY AND HOPED TO MAKE IT THERE. GETTING OF THE TURNPIKE EXIT, MY VAN ENGINE QUIT AND LUCKILY I COASTED IN TO A PARK 'N RIDE PARKING LOT. I CALLED MY DEALER TO FIND OUT THEY HAD NO WRECKER BUT USED A SERVICE. THEY TOLD ME TO GET IT THERE SO THEY COULD LOOK AT IT. I COOLED THE ENGINE WITH HOOD UP ON A COOL RAINY DAY, AND RE-STARTED MY VAN, AND MADE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS SUPPLIED WITH A LOANER CAR, AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD CHECK OVER MY VAN ON THE NEXT DAY. AFTER EVERYTHING, WE WERE NOTIFIED WE HAD BLOWN A HEAD GASKET, LEADING TO FAILURE OF OUR ENGINE. THIS IN SPITE OF MAINTAINING ALL FLUID LEVELS PROPERLY! WE WOULD NEED A NEW ENGINE, AND NO, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED DOES NOT COVER THIS WORK. VERY, VERY ANGRY!! *TR

WHEN GOING FAST SPEEDS 50MPH + AND THEN BRAKING THE VEHICLE SHAKES AS IF YOUR GOING TO FLIP AND LOSE CONTROL. I CAN STOP AT A SLOW PACE AND IT STILL SHAKES CONTROLLABLY. THE ROTORS ARE WARPED SO BAD AND SHOULDNT BE DOING THIS. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.. *TR
Service brakes, Oct 12, 2014
WHEN THE INCIDENT FIRST OCCURRED THE VIBRATING WAS NOT AS SEVERE. NOW WHEN I AM GOING AT OVER 50MPH AND I START BRAKING, THE CAR'S STEERING WHEEL STARTS SHAKING VIOLENTLY. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THE ROTORS ARE WARPED PREMATURELY. MANY OTHER OWNERS OF THE SAME CAR HAVE THE ISSUE. I AM AFRAID OF GETTING INTO A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKING SO VIOLENTLY WHILE I AM DRIVING. ITS A VERY BIG SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND I WISH THAT HONDA RECALLS THESE CARS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THE PAINT ON OUR HONDA ODYSSEY IS FAILING. HONDA OFFERED A RECALL/WARRANTY EXTENSION FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT MADE NO ATTEMPT TO ALERT US ABOUT IT UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL/WARRANTY WAS EXPIRED. WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED ABOUT ANY SERVICE BULLETINS OR RECALLS BEFORE THE RECALL/WARRANTY EXPIRED AND WERE TOLD THERE WERE NONE. IT WASN'T UNTIL AFTER THE RECALL/WARRANTY EXPIRED THAT WERE WE TOLD ABOUT IT. HONDA IS NOW TELLING US THAT THEY WILL NOT REPAIR THE FAILING PAINT BECAUSE THE RECALL/WARRENTY IS EXPIRED. WE HAVE TRIED TO WORK THROUGH THE LOCAL DEALER AND HONDA'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TO NO AVAIL. HONDA'S BUSINESS STRATEGY AROUND THIS PARTICULAR RECALL/WARRANTY APPEARS TO BE TO HIDE INFORMATION FROM CONSUMERS UNTIL THEY ARE NO LONGER REQUIRED TO RESPOND TO SPECIFIC PROBLEMS WITH THEIR VEHICLES. PLEASE HELP US RESOLVE THIS ISSUE WITH AMERICAN HONDA. THANK YOU. *TR

SLIDING DOORS KEEP FAILING EVEN AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENTS BY HONDA. DOORS DO NOT REMAIN CLOSED EVEN WHEN LOCKED. REAR SECTION OF SLIDING DOOR REMAINS AJAR. A SIDE IMPACT OR SIDE SWIPE CRASH COULD EASILY TEAR OPEN THE DOORS. SIDE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT COULD ALSO CAUSE INJURY IF TRIPPED BY THE FAILING DOORS. AS I SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING RE-OCCURRENCE EVEN AFTER HONDA REPAIR. I KNOW OF SEVERAL OTHER ODYSSEY OWNERS DEALING WITH THE SAME ISSUE. HONDA DEALER ADMITS THEY SEE MANY OF THESE IN 2007-2008 ODYSSEYS'. *TR

MY TEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS NEARLY CHOKED BY THE WINDOW IN THE DOOR (PASSENGER SIDE) OF MY 2007 HONDA ODYSSEY AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THE CAR HAD JUST BEEN TURNED OFF WHEN SHE STUCK HER HEAD OUT OF THE OPEN WINDOW AND ANOTHER CHILD MISTAKENLY CLOSED THE WINDOW AND IT CLOSED ON HER NECK. I WAS STILL IN THE CAR AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND OPEN THE WINDOW WITHIN A FEW SECONDS SO SHE WAS NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED. HOWEVER, HAD I IMMEDIATELY EXITED THE CAR AFTER TURNING IT OFF I'M HORRIFIED TO THINK WHAT MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED. *TR

ON DECEMBER 18, 2013, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VAN TO AN EXPRESS OIL CHANGE COMPANY THE SAME DAY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND ASKED THEM TO READ THE CODES. THE CODES WERE RANDOM MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRES AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT I MIGHT NEED TO HAVE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AT NEXT OIL CHANGE, BUT IT SHOULD BE FINE TO DRIVE. THE MILEAGE ON THE VAN ON THAT DATE WAS 94,482 MILES. ON FEBRUARY 7TH, WHILE DRIVING TO WORK, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND THE VAN STARTED TO DRIVE VERY SLUGGISH. I CALLED THE MECHANIC I USE FOR REPAIRS AND THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT OTHER THAN TO BRING THE VAN IN. UPON READING THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES, THEY STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REMOVE THE OLD SPARK PLUGS AND COIL PACKS, THE COIL PACK AND SPARK PLUG IN CYLINDER 5 HAD COMPLETELY MELTED AND FUSED TO THE WALLS OF THE CYLINDER. MY MECHANIC DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH AND SPOKE WITH A HONDA TECHNICIAN AND DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS DUE TO A FAULTY VCM AND THAT ONLY REPLACING THE HEAD WOULD NOT ELIMINATE THE PROBLEM. THE HONDA TECH ADVISED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS AS THE CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT WITH 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY ENGINES. *TR

OUR 4 SMALL CHILDREN AND A PARENT WERE IN THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS TURNED ON AND SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY IN THE PARKED POSITION WHEN THE CURTAIN AIRBAGS ALONG THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE HONDA ODYSSEY ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOYED CAUSING SIGNIFICANT HEARING DAMAGE TO ALL OCCUPANTS AND RENDERING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. WE ARE NOW VERY FRIGHTENED THAT THERE IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY DEFECT WITH OUR HONDA ODYSSEY AND THAT AT A FUTURE TIME ANY OTHER AIRBAG IN THE MINIVAN MAY SPONTANEOUSLY DEPLOY AGAIN OR THAT IN THE EVENT OF A SERIOUS COLLISION THE AIRBAG SYSTEM MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY ALL TOGETHER CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR FATALITY. *TR

LOSS OF POWER STEERING & DIFFICULTY TURNING STEERING WHEEL. PAINT ON TOP OF THE ROOF HAS BEGUN TO FADE. HAD TO REPLACE OIL PAN BECAUSE OF LUG NUT DAMAGE TO PAN. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC DAMAGED WAS CAUSED TO THE OIL PAN DUE TO THE QUALITY OF METAL WITHIN THE LUG NUT THAT IS OF HARSHER MATERIAL THAN THE OIL PAN. THEREFORE, IT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE OIL PAN THAT REQUIRED US TO HAVE AN IMMEDIATE OIL PAN REPLACEMENT DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. *TR
