Component
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
Manufacturer
Braun Corporation
What Happened
The rear wheel speed sensor is like a messenger that tells your anti-lock brakes which wheels are spinning fast or slow. In some 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey vans with a wheelchair ramp conversion, this sensor's wiring might be connected to the wrong wheels.
Risk if Unfixed
If the brake system can't tell which wheels are spinning, it might not be able to stop your wheels from locking up when you slam on the brakes, which could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and fix the wiring for the rear wheel speed sensor, if needed, at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Honda Odyessy vehicles modified to be equipped with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion. The rear wheel speed sensor harnesses may have been routed to the incorrect rear wheels, resulting in the possibility that the anti-lock brake system will not recognize each rear wheel speed properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake System" and 404, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the rear wheel speeds cannot be correctly monitored, the anti-lock brake system may not engage properly to prevent the wheels from locking up, increasing the risk of crash.
Original — Remedy
Braun has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 4, 2019. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
