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).

Tires, Jun 15, 2022
On 6/12/2022, minutes after exiting 45 miles of highway driving, I parked the car. Less than 90 seconds after parking, the left front tire experienced an explosive loss of air pressure. An approx 2" x 1-1/2" piece of the sidewall near the tread was missing, and the reinforcing belt inside the tire was torn. It was the inside (engine side) sidewall. There was no apparent damage from any road hazard that could have contributed to the failure. Could not find the missing sidewall section. The General Altimax 235/65R16 103T tires were purchased new on 6/1/2022 with 200,583 miles on the vehicle. Failure occurred at 217,525 miles. The tire was replaced by the original seller (Belle Tire, New Hudson, MI), who now have the tire. They also inspected for previous damage and found none. Availability for inspection unknown. Belle Tire reps indicate that this is a very unusual failure and will be reporting to manufacturer. No other entities have inspected the failed tire. No warnings/symptoms present prior to the explosion. The DOT number on the failed tire is 6546 WBMH. It is notable that the other 3 identical tires on the vehicle have four additional digits (e.g. 6546 WMBH 0421) following the letter code, which Belle Tire said was the manufacture date of the tire. (0421 would be the 4th week of 2021). The failed tire lacked this information. Obviously, my wife and I were very lucky that this failure did not occur while driving on the highway as it almost certainly would have resulted in a loss of control at high speed.

The Honda Odyssey I own has paint coming out from the roof and tail. Looking around on the road, I saw many other white Honda Odyssey with similar problems. When doing a search on the web, I saw the recall notice for Honda Odyssey 2011-12. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2019/MC-10161239-0001.pdf My Honda Odyssey is a 2010 model but with same color and similar problems with exterior paint. This would result in corrosion and ultimately the safety of the vehicle. I am attaching the pictures of my vehicle. I did contact Honda and they advised me to get the vehicle inspected at their service center. I am scheduled to visit them for diagnosis soon, but wanted to share what I found as there recall with 2011-12 is something that clearly extends to other years model as well.

My 2010 Honda odyssey is accelerating while breaking. Both times I am trying to slow down and stop at red traffic light, and both times, it initially slowed down but accelerated all of sudden. I had to shift to P before it finally stopped.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY LX, . TWO OF THE TPMS TRANSMITTERS ARE NOW LEAKING AROUND THE STEM, CAUSING LOW TIRE PRESSURE. IS THERE A RECALL OF THESE TRANSMITTERS? THE INFORMATION ON THE TRANSMITTERS FROM ONE THAT WAS REPLACED IS: TRW 42753-SHJ-A820-M1 315 MHZ 217652-110 >PPA-GF33< 8D06923A 2399T IT IS VERY CONCERNING THAT A DEVICE MEANT TO WARN OF A HAZARD IS ACTUALLY CAUSING A HAZARD, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE ARE FORCED TO HAVE THESE DEVICES ON OUR CARS.

GAS TANK IS LEAKING WHEN TANK IS FULL OF GAS FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK WHEN VEHICLE IS PARKED
Engine, Jan 3, 2020
THE CAR IS CURRENTLY REGISTERING INDIVIDUAL CYLINDER AND MULTIPLE RANDOM CYLINDER MISFIRES. WHEN STARTING- THE ENGINE WILL VIBRATE EXCESSIVELY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME THEN WILL EVEN OUT AND RUN NORMALLY. AT IDLE, THE ENGINE WILL EXPERIENCE MILDLY EXCESSIVE VIBRATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO SEVERAL REPAIR SHOPS AND HAVE REPLACED COILS AND SPARK PLUGS. ONE REPAIR SHOP MENTIONED A VALVE TIMING CONTROL CODE ON THEIR DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO AN OFFICIAL DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER AND THEY DID NOT IDENTIFY THIS CODE. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT A VALVE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. I THEN RETRIEVED THE CAR AND HAD AN ALTERNATE DEALER FOR THE MANUFACTURER DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE. THIS SECOND DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ALSO INDICATED THAT A VALVE ADJUSTMENT WAS NEEDED. THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT REPAIR WAS PERFORMED. THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR A FEW DAYS THEN BEGAN REAND AN GULAR MODERATE TO HEAVY VIBRATION, THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT FLASHED ON AND OFF THEN EVENTUALLY STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO HAD DONE THE VALVE ADJUSTMENT AND THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE CAR ENGINE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR THAT BOTH HEAD GASKETS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST THIS MANUFACTURER RELATED TO VALVE TIMING CONTROL PROBLEMS LEADING TO CYLINDER MISFIRES AND ENGINE FAILURE WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OFFERED AS A RESULT. I CALLED THE NATIONAL CORPORATE OFFICES AND INQUIRED IF THIS WARRANTY APPLIED TO MY VEHICLE. THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY RELATED TO THE ISSUES I HAD DESCRIBED BUT THAT THE VIN FOR MY VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED AMONG THE WARRANTED VEHICLES. I WAS TOLD MY ONLY OPTION WOULD BE TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO SEE IF THE NHSTA COULD REQUIRE THE MANUFACTURER TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE UNDER WARRANTY FOR REPAIR AS THE WARRANTY RESULTED FROM A LAWSUIT RELATED TO A KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE WITH THE CAR.
