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).

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.

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.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2007. SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. WHILE APPROACHING AT ABOUT 5MPH TO A STOP SIGN WITH A STOPPED VEHICLE BEFORE ME, I APPLIED THE BRAKE BUT RATHER THAN STOPPING, THE CAR LURCHED AND THE TACHOMETER ROSE TO >2000. I KEPT MY FOOT DOWN AND APPLIED MORE FORCE ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR THEN CAME TO FULL STOP. THIS IS VERY DISCONCERTING. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE NEW AND AFTER ~ 15000 MILES, THE CAR VIBRATED EXCESSIVELY WHILE TRAVELING AT 60-70 MPH. PER REPAIR SHOPS, ALL FOUR TIRES WERE "DEFORMED" AND CANNOT BE REPAIRED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *TR

THEY FOUND NOTHING INSIDE OR OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING TEMPERATURE IN THE HIGH 80'S LOW 90'S, IT WAS IN THE 70'S LOW 80'S ON THAT DAY. WHEN WE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON-LINE FOR SIMILAR INCIDENTS, THERE WERE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS WITH REAR WINDOW EXPLODING. WE NOTIFIED THE LOCAL HONDA DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR POTENTIALLY DEFECTIVE WINDOWS. ALTHOUGH THEY INDICATED NO SPECIFIC COMPLAINT SPECIFIC TO RIGHT BACK WINDOW, THEY SAID HONDA OF AMERICA WILL BE CONTACTED AND WILL GET BACK WITH US.

HONDA ODYSSEY 2007 MODEL - A/C COMPRESSOR BROKEN BECAUSE OF A HOLE MADE BY A ROCK (AS STATED BY HONDA DEALER IN DIAGNOSIS). THIS HAS BEEN THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF A/CS FAILING IN HONDA ODYSSEY MODELS OF YEAR 2007 AND PRIOR. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW AS THE COMPRESSOR IS NOT SUFFICIENTLY PROTECTED FROM OUTSIDE DEBRIS HITTING IT. TO EMPHASIZE THAT THIS INDEED IS A DESIGN FLAW, THE 2008 ODYSSEY AND LATER MODEL NOW COME WITH A PROTECTIVE MESH COVERING THE CONDENSER, TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED SO FAR FOR THIS DEFECT. I REQUEST YOU TO INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AND IF FOUND TRUE, HONDA SHOULD FIX THIS DEFECT FREE OF CHARGE FOR ALL 2007 ODYSSEYS AND PRIOR MODELS WITH THIS FLAW. *TR
