WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH ON RURAL PAVED HIGHWAY, OUR 2010 HONDA ODYSSEY VAN APPLIED MODERATE BRAKING (WITH ZERO DRIVER INPUT) TO THE LEFT-FRONT WHEEL TWICE WITHIN A SECOND OR TWO OF EACH OTHER. THIS BRAKING CAUSED THE VAN TO PULL MODERATELY TO THE LEFT AND NEARLY CROSS THE HIGHWAY CENTERLINE. THE VSA LIGHT ICON (VEHICLE STABILITY ASSIST) FLASHED ON THE DASH DURING THIS EVENT. THIS HAPPENED ON A SUNNY, DRY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AROUND 70F. VAN WAS TRAVELING ON A PERFECTLY STRAIGHT SECTION OF HIGHWAY. NO TRACTION ISSUES WHATSOEVER.

Mar 14, 2014

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 & remedy

Consequence: A fuel leak increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy: 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).
