The fuel pump in your Honda Odyssey is the part that sends fuel level information to your dashboard gauge. In some versions, this pump can send the wrong reading, making it seem like you have more gas than you really do.
Risk if Unfixed
If your gauge says you have gas, but you actually run out, your vehicle could stall, and you might crash if you lose control.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty fuel pump module with a new one, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
