Component
SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
Manufacturer
Braun Corporation
What Happened
The rear wheel speed sensor is a critical part that helps your Odyssey's anti-lock brake system (ABS) work properly. In some 2018-2019 models with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion, the sensor harnesses might have been connected to the wrong wheels.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ABS system can't accurately track the speed of each rear wheel, it might not be able to prevent the wheels from locking up when you hit the brakes hard. This could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your authorized Honda dealer will inspect and correct the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses, if needed, at no cost to you. You should schedule this repair as soon as you receive 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.
