   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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).

   Report filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.). Manufacturer campaign number JD9, JE0. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 6 Oct 2014.

2. 10V504000Received 22 Oct 2010. 471,820 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Foundation Components / Master Cylinder

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.). Manufacturer campaign number R51 HONDA R52 ACURA. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 31 Dec 2010.

3. 10V055000Received 23 Feb 2010. 21,776 units.

   Structure / Body / Hatchback/Liftgate / Support Device/Strut

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Honda is recalling certain model year 2005 odyssey touring vehicles equipped with power operated rear liftgate. The power liftgate gas struts may deteriorate unexpectedly early. Struts that have worn out prematurely may fail to hold the power liftgate in the fully open position, causing the power liftgate to close unexpectedly.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Injury may result from a power liftgate closing unexpectedly when a person is within the closing path of the liftgate.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the gas liftgate struts and replace if within the recall population. This service will be performed free of charge. The campaign began on march 26, 2010. Owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1-800-999-1009.

   Report filed by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.). Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 26 Mar 2010.

4. 07V097000Received 14 Mar 2007. 166,561 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain vehicles, a coil wire inside the fuel pump relay may break, causing the fuel pump to lose power. If the fuel pump becomes inoperative, the engine may not start.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the fuel pump loses power while driving, the engine could stall without warning, and a crash could occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect and replace the fuel pump relay free of charge. The recall began on april 2, 2007. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

5. 05V344000Received 1 Aug 2005. 85,154 units.

   Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   The frontal air bag system has two external impact sensors. On certain mini vans,some sensors were insufficiently sealed during manufacturing. If water enters a sensor, corrosion can occur. Corroded sensors could short circuit internally. If sensors fail, the SRS warning lamp on the instrument panel will turn on and remain illuminated.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Front impact sensor failure could cause a delay in, or loss of, frontal air bag deployment, which can increase the risk of injury in a frontal crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the front impact sensors. The recall began on august 30, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.

   Report filed by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.). Manufacturer campaign number P80. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 30 Aug 2005.

6. 05V132000Received 5 Apr 2005. 1,923 units.

   Electrical System / Wiring / Fuses and Circuit Breakers

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain passenger vehicles, a loose terminal in the main fuse box may cause the fuel pump to lose power. If the fuel pump becomes inoperative, the engine may not start.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the fuel pump loses power while driving the engine could stall without warning which could result in a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will replace the entire fuse box free of charge. The recall began on april 13, 2005. Owners may contact honda at 800-999-1009 or acura at 1-800-382-2238.

   Report filed by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.). Manufacturer campaign number P73, P74. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 13 Apr 2005.

7. 05V039000Received 3 Feb 2005. 203 units.

   Steering / Column

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain minivans and sport utility vehicles, the steering column may be incorrectly assembled, which could result in a loss of steering control.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Loss of steering control can cause a vehicle crash without prior notice.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Owners were notified by telephone on january 25, 2005, and arrangements were made to have their vehicles towed to their dealers and have the repairs performed. The recall began on january 25, 2005.

   Report filed by HONDA (AMERICAN HONDA MOTOR CO.). Manufacturer campaign number P70.

8. 04V536000Received 15 Nov 2004. 2,247 units.

   Service Brakes, Air / Antilock / Wheel Speed Sensor

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   On certain minivans, the anti-lock brake system (ABS) uses a sensor on each wheel to detect wheel speed. Some sensors on the rear wheels were installed incorrectly, which means the sensor may report the wrong wheel speed to the ABS control unit.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The driver could experience a loss of brake force and a crash could occur.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the rear wheel speed sensors. If an incorrect gap is detected, the sensor will be removed and the knuckle checked for cross threading damage. If damage is found, the knuckle will be replaced. If no damage is found, the sensor will be reinstalled correctly. The recall began on november 12, 2004. Owners should contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
