Recalls and investigations
Seats, mid/rear assemblyNov 17, 2017
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker, allowing the seat to tip forward unexpectedly during braking.
If the seat tips forward during braking, it can increase the risk of injury.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to the second row outboard floor strikers, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2018. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is S0G.

Seats, mid/rear assemblyDec 27, 2016
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2010, to October 1, 2015. The affected vehicles have second row outboard seats that have a release lever that allows the seats to move for easier access to the third row of seats. This release lever may remain in the unlocked position allowing the seats to move unexpectedly.
An unlocked second row outboard seat increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional bracket and spring to both second row outboard seats, free of charge. Interim letter has been mailed, and a second notification will be sent . Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KD5.

Power train, automatic transmissionApr 15, 2013
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 CR-V, Odyssey, and model year 2013 Acura RDX vehicles. During sub-freezing temperatures, the brake-shift interlock blocking mechanism may become slow and allow the gear selector to be moved from the Park position without pressing the brake pedal. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
If the gear selector is moved from the park position without pressing the brake pedal it can allow the vehicle to roll away, increasing the risk of a crash.
Honda will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Honda or Acura dealer. The dealer will install an updated brake shift interlock blocking mechanism free of charge. The recall began on May 13, 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's campaign recall numbers are S96, S97, and S98.

Air bagsJan 18, 2013
Honda is recalling certain model year 2009-2013 Pilot and 2011-2013 Odyssey passenger vehicles manufactured from March 13, 2008, through December 21, 2012. One or more rivets that attach the airbag module to the airbag cover may be missing.
The absence of more than one rivet could alter the performance of the driver's airbag during deployment. This could potentially increase the risk of injury during a crash.
Honda will notify owners and instruct them to take their vehicle to a Honda dealer. The dealer will inspect the driver's airbag module and replace it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on March 14, 2013. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.

Suspension, frontDec 22, 2011
HONDA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2012, ODYSSEY VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM OCTOBER 31, 2011, THROUGH NOVEMBER 30, 2011. THE RETENTION NUT FOR THE FRONT RIGHT LOWER SUSPENSION DAMPER BOLT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN TIGHTENED TO THE PROPER TORQUE, POTENTIALLY ALLOWING THE NUT TO LOOSEN.
IF THE NUT LOOSENS, THE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY WOULD ONLY BE ATTACHED BY ONE BOLT, ALLOWING THE WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO SHIFT TO AN EXTREME INWARD ANGLE, RESULTING IN A LOSS OF STEERING, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
HONDA CONTACTED ALL NINE OWNERS BY PHONE ON DECEMBER 19, 2011, AND REPAIRED THE VEHICLES AS NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

WIND NOISE ACROSS THE WINDSHIELD IS SIGNIFICANT AND ALSO AIR LEAK ON DRIVER SIDE WINDOW; DEALER PUT IN NEW DOOR SEAL, BUT THIS DID NOT HELP. THEY SAID THEY KNOW OF THE COMPLAINTS AND HAD NO FIX FOR IT. IN DEC OF 2012, ONE YEAR AFTER I FIRST STARTED TO COMPLAIN, THEN CONTACTED CORPORATE HONDA DIRECTLY, THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO FIX MY AIR LEAK AT MY EAR. NOW I CAN HEAR ALL THE AIR NOISE AROUND THE WINDSHIELD AND SUN ROOF. THEY SAY THERE NO FIX FOR THIS. AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH AND ABOVE IT IS AGGRAVATING. WE HAVE CONSISTENTLY COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS AT EVERY VISIT. THIS IS NOT A CAR TO BUY FOR ANYTHING BUT TO GET YOUR KIDS AROUND TOWN. *TR
Power train, Service brakes, Jan 6, 2013
I BOUGHT A BRAND NEW '12 ODYSSEY EXL-NAV (5-SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION) AND FROM THE DAY I PICKED IT UP, I NOTICED A SHUDDERING WHEN THE TRANSMISSION WAS AT A SHIFT POINT, ESPECIALLY FROM 2ND TO 3RD AND 3RD TO 4TH. I AM SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I SEE A REGISTERED COMPLIANT FOR ODYSSEY TOURING AND TOURING ELITE MODELS WITH 6-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS BUT NOT FOR THE EX OR EXLS WITH 5-SPEED TRANSMISSION [NHTSA REFERENCE #10046880;TSB REFERENCE #SB-12-064]; HOWEVER I HAVE THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP AT A HONDA DEALER TWICE NOW TO RESOLVE ISSUE AND LAST TIME THEY MENTIONED THERE HAD BEEN A SERVICE BULLETIN ISSUED FOR THIS ISSUE AND THEY UPLOADED A NEW SOFTWARE CONTROL MODULE. HOWEVER, I STILL HAVE THE ISSUE AND AM CONCERNED THAT THIS IS A DESIGN-FLAW ISSUE THAT HONDA MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIX. PLEASE EXPAND THE NHTSA ISSUE TO INCLUDE THE 5-SPEED TRANSMISSIONS AS WELL AND ADVISE IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO. ALSO, WITH THE BRAND NEW VEHICLE, THE REAR BRAKE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND PULSED WHEN BREAKING AND HAD TO BE RESURFACED WITHIN A MONTH OF DELIVERY. THAT ISSUE IS NOW RESOLVED. *TR
Electrical system, Nov 21, 2012
THE SPEEDOMETER AND OTHER INSTRUMENTS ON THE DASH BOARD ARE VERY EASY TO SEE AT NIGHT. HOWEVER, IN DAYLIGHT IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE OTHER INSTRUMENTS, PARTICULARLY IF WEARING POLAROID SUNGLASSES. THE NUMBERS ON THE SPEEDOMETER ARE GREY ON GREY. THAT AND THE LED LIGHTING MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM BECAUSE MOTORISTS HAVE TO SPEND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EXTRA TIME LOOKING AT THE SPEEDOMETER IN ORDER TO SEE HOW FAST THE VEHICLE IS GOING. WHILE THE MOTORISTS ARE LOOKING AT THE SPEEDOMETER, THEY CAN'T SEE THE ROAD AND THEY CAN'T SEE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC CONFLICTS. EARLIER MODELS OF HONDA ODYSSEY DID NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM. HONDA KNOWS HOW TO MAKE THE DASHBOARD INSTRUMENTS CLEARLY VISIBLE IN DAYLIGHT. NO NEW TECHNOLOGY HAS TO BE DEVELOPED TO MITIGATE THIS SAFETY PROBLEM. *TR
Vehicle speed control, Fuel/propulsion system, Oct 29, 2012
WHEN PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE VEHICLE HESITATES, THEN SURGES FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WITH NO PATTERN OR INDICATION. I QUESTIONED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS DUE TO THE WIRELESS METHOD USED TO TRANSMIT THE SIGNAL FROM THE ACCELERATOR TO THE INJECTION SYSTEM. THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO LEARN TO LIVE WITH IT. *TR

WE BELIEVE, AND THOUSANDS OF OTHERS, THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AND FLAW IN DESIGN THAT DOES NOT ADEQUATELY PROTECT THIS COMPONENT, HENCE AMERICAN HONDA IS MAKING A TON OF MONEY OFF ITS CUSTOMERS FOR REPAIRS. CONTACTING AMERICAN HONDA FOR RESOLUTION IS USELESS, AS THEY ARE STANDING BEHIND A ROUTINE EXPLANATION OF THAT THEY ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THIS TYPE OF FAILURE, IN THEIR DESIGN. WE NEED HELP! *TR

OUR BRAND NEW 2012 HONDA ODYSSEY TOURING ELITE JUDDERS BETWEEN 25-40 MPH BETWEEN SHIFTS. THE JUDDER CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM MILD AND VERY TRANSIENT TO ROUGH BUCKING THAT LASTS FOR OVER 2 SECONDS BEFORE IT SMOOTHS OUT. UNDER MILD OR HEAVY ACCELERATION, I HAVE NOT NOT NOTICED THE JUDDER. IT SEEMS TO ONLY HAPPEN UNDER MODERATE ACCELERATION. IT ALSO SEEMS TO OCCUR MORE VIOLENTLY WHILE GOING UPHILL. IT HAPPENS AT LEAST 90% OF THE TIME DURING THE SHIFT BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD GEARS UNDER MODERATE (TYPICAL) ACCELERATION. THIS JUDDER RESULTS IN A LOSS OF EXPECTED ACCELERATION AND DECREASED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM, IT BECAME OBVIOUS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON EXPERIENCING THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THAT HONDA MUST RECALL THESE VEHICLES TO PERMANENTLY REPAIR THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS MORE THAN JUST THE 2012 MODEL YEAR. *TT

BRAND NEW VEHICLE, NEW MODEL YEAR, COULD BE ONE OF FIRST. HEADLIGHTS ARE AS BRIGHT AS THE SUN. ANY BUMP OR INCLINE PUTS HEADLIGHTS INTO ONCOMING DRIVER EYES. MAJORITY FLASH ME THAT MY HIGH BEAMS ARE ON. THEY ARE NOT. HONDA SAYS ALL PERFECT. I CANNOT LOOK INTO LIGHT - IT IS SUN-LIKE. MY HEADLIGHTS COME UP INTO ONCOMING EYES CONSTANTLY - HONDA SAYS AIMED PERFECTLY. I ASSERT THAT THIS IS SIMPLY HIGHLY DANGEROUS; HONDA WILL DO NOTHING FOR ME. ALL IS PERFECT, THEY SAY. EVEN IF I DON'T CAUSE SOMEONE ELSE'S ACCIDENT, THE QUANTITY OF PEOPLE FLASHING ME APPEARS TO BE EVIDENCE OF SPREADING ANGER, BECAUSE I CAN DO NOTHING. MY SUN-LIKE LIGHTS 'FLASH' THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN. PITY THE POOR DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME, IN MY LANE. MY BULBS ARE HALOGEN, NOT THE 'HIGH INTENSITY DISCHARGE' TYPE. *TR
