The risk: IF THE VEHICLE OPERATOR DOES NOT SHIFT TO "PARK" BEFORE REMOVING THE KEY AND FAILS TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE, THE VEHICLE COULD ROLL AND A CRASH COULD OCCUR.
The fix: DEALERS WILL PERFORM AN INSPECTION PROCEDURE THAT DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF CYLINDER BODY WEAR. IF SIGNIFICANT WEAR IS INDICATED, THE DEALER WILL REPLACE THE CYLINDER BODY, COLLAR, AND LATCH PLATE. IF NO SIGNS OF WEAR ARE INDICATED, DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE LATCH PLATE WITH A REDESIGNED PART.

The fix: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT SUSPENSION LOWER BALL JOINTS.
How to check if your Odyssey has an open recall
- Find the 17-character VIN on the driver-side dashboard (visible through the windshield), the door-jamb sticker, or your registration.
- Enter it in the free VIN recall check. It queries NHTSA for your exact vehicle, not just the model.
- If a recall is open, call any Honda dealer's service department to book the free repair. Bring the recall number from the list above.
- Buying used? Ask the seller for the dealer's recall-completion printout before you pay.
Or browse by year, for example the 2026 Honda Odyssey recall check.
Recalls are only part of the picture. Owner complaints show which years have the most problems: Honda Odyssey years to avoid.
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls does the Honda Odyssey have?
84 NHTSA safety recall campaigns cover the Honda Odyssey across model years 1995–2026. A single campaign often spans several model years, so the per-year counts in the table add up to more than 84. The 2019 model year has the most, with 20.
What is the latest Honda Odyssey recall?
26V423000, filed with NHTSA on Jul 1, 2026: backup camera / back-over prevention (sensing system, camera), covering 2018–2020 Odyssey models. The fix is free at Honda dealers.
What is the biggest Honda Odyssey recall?
By vehicles covered, 15V320000 (May 28, 2015), a air bags campaign covering about 6,281,043 vehicles in total. That count is for the whole campaign, which can include other models besides the Odyssey.
How do I check if my Honda Odyssey has an open recall?
Run your 17-character VIN through a VIN recall check. A model-level list can't tell you whether your car was built in the affected range or has already been repaired. Any Honda dealer can also look up the VIN and do the repair.
Are Honda recall repairs free?
Yes. Safety-recall repairs are done free at franchised Honda dealers, whether or not the warranty has expired and wherever you bought the car. Manufacturers must offer a free remedy for vehicles up to 15 years old at the time the recall is filed, and many still repair older ones.
