The fuel pump in your Honda Odyssey is the part that measures how much gasoline is in your tank and sends that info to your dashboard. In some replaced fuel pumps, it might be sending the wrong info, making it look like your tank is always almost full.
Risk if Unfixed
If your fuel gauge is lying to you, you could accidentally run out of gas while driving. If that happens, your vehicle will stall, and you'll lose power steering and brakes, which could make it hard to control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Delphi will replace the faulty fuel pump module for free. You should contact them at 1-877-411-8770 to schedule the repair.

What Happened
The hydraulic brake hose in your Odyssey is crucial for transferring brake fluid to your front wheels. Unfortunately, some 2009 models got the wrong hoses installed during assembly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake hose leaks, you won't notice it at first, but it will cause your brakes to fail gradually. Eventually, you won't be able to stop your vehicle, which increases the risk of a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Honda dealer will inspect and replace the faulty brake hoses with the correct ones, all for free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible when you receive the recall notice.
