The fuel pump in your Honda Odyssey is the part that tells your fuel gauge how much gas you have. In some replacement pumps used in 2005-2010 models, this pump might send the wrong signal, making your gauge show 3/4 full or full even when your tank is almost empty.
Risk if Unfixed
If your fuel gauge is wrong, you might run out of gas while driving. This could cause your vehicle to stall, making it harder to control and increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Delphi will replace your faulty fuel pump module with a new one, free of charge. Your dealer or a Delphi representative will contact you to schedule the fix, but you can also call them at 1-877-411-8770 with the recall number GL14-004.

What Happened
The master cylinder is a crucial part of your brake system that helps you stop safely. In certain Honda Odyssey and Acura RL models from 2005-2007, a specific type of brake fluid might cause a rubber seal at the master cylinder to dry out and potentially leak.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seal leaks, you might notice a change in your brake pedal feel, and eventually, your brakes may not work as well as they should, increasing the risk of an accident.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty seal in your master cylinder at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

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.
