This guide covers the Honda Odyssey across 4 generations from model year 1999. Transport Canada lists 63 recalls for it since the 2000 model year, the latest issued in July 2026 (list read ). The 1999–2004 Odyssey was assembled in Canada at Honda’s Alliston, Ontario, plant; later generations are built in Lincoln, Alabama, and exported to Canada.

Overview

The Odyssey is Honda’s minivan. The first 1995–1998 version was a smaller, Accord-based van with hinged rear doors; since the 1999 model year North America has had its own larger Odyssey with sliding doors and a 3.5 L V6. That second generation was built in Alliston, Ontario, and every Odyssey since 2005 has come from Lincoln, Alabama. Families choose it for up to eight seats and sliding-door access to the third row; it is front-wheel drive only. For Alberta owners, notable items include a transmission failure history on 1999–2004 vans, a 2003–2004 fuel-tank flange recall that applied only to the Prairies and the Yukon because of extreme cold and rough roads, and a 2018–2020 recall for sliding door handle cables that can freeze.

Common issues

Problems a source documents for this model, tagged by what kind of source it is. What each tag means:

Recall
A safety recall. Transport Canada’s list further down has the recall itself, and a dealer can tell you from your VIN whether it applies to your vehicle.
Documented
Documented by the sources cited, such as a manufacturer program, a court-approved settlement or a reputable publication.

  • Automatic transmission failures

    Documented Model years 1999–2004

    The 4-speed automatic in 1999–2001 vans suffered bearing failures, and the 5-speed that followed could wear its third-gear clutch or overheat second gear. Honda extended coverage in the US, but Wikipedia notes Canada was not part of the US settlement; the 2002–2004 second-gear problem was a recall in Canada.[1][10]

  • Airbag inflator recalls

    Recall Model years 1999–2004

    Driver airbag inflators in 1999–2000 vans can be damaged by moisture (a second recall covers 2000–2001 vans whose steering-wheel airbag was replaced with one of these inflators), and Takata driver and passenger inflators in 2002–2004 vans can rupture in a crash. Unrepaired vans should go to a Honda dealer.[11][12][13][14]

  • Fuel sending unit flange cracking in extreme cold

    Recall Model years 2003–2004

    Honda recalled 2003–2004 Odysseys in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Yukon because extreme cold plus rough roads could crack the fuel sending unit flange and leak fuel. Dealers replace the sending unit.[15]

  • Fuel pump strainer cracking

    Recall Model years 2005–2010

    The fuel pump strainer can deteriorate and crack, causing a fuel smell or leak. Dealers replace the strainer cover.[16]

  • Unexpected braking from the stability system

    Recall Model years 2007–2008

    A fault in the Vehicle Stability Assist system could apply the brakes without the driver pressing the pedal, and without lighting the brake lamps. Dealers repair the system under the recall.[17]

  • Second-row outboard seats that may not latch

    Recall Model years 2011–2017

    If a removable second-row outboard seat is reinstalled over a collar on its striker, it may not latch and could tip forward under braking. Dealers add a striker bracket and warning labels.[18]

  • Sliding door handle cables freezing

    Recall Model years 2018–2020

    Moisture can freeze in the outer handle cables of the power sliding doors, holding the handle open so the door does not latch and could open while driving. Dealers replace the cables.[19]

  • Low-pressure fuel pump failure

    Recall Model years 2018–2020

    The in-tank fuel pump can fail, so the engine runs rough, will not start or loses power while driving. Honda replaces the pump under recall.[20]

    Issue. On certain vehicles, a seal in the brake master cylinder may be susceptible to damage which can result in a leak if certain conditions exist. The polymer content affects the amount of lubrication the brake fluid provides to brake system components that are exposed to brake fluid. If the brake fluid is replaced with a low polymer brake fluid, and the brake fluid is subsequently subjected to a manual brake fluid bleeding procedure, as opposed to an automated brake bleed procedure, it is possible for the seal at the end of the brake master cylinder primary circuit to become twisted within its retention groove. If this seal becomes twisted, it can result in a leak of a small amount of brake fluid each time the brake pedal is applied. Should a leak occur, after some time the driver will be alerted by the illumination of the low brake fluid indicator light on the meter panel before any effect on braking performance results. If the driver continues to drive the vehicle without refilling the brake fluid reservoir, the vehicle will eventually exhibit a soft or spongy brake pedal feel, requiring more stroke to achieve equivalent braking force. Eventually, if this continues un-remedied, braking performance will be affected, and will finally result in a low pedal and a loss of one braking circuit.

    Corrective action. Dealers will replace the brake master cylinder seal cup and the master power assembly if brake fluid has leaked.

    Issue. On certain vehicles, during the self-check process that occurs shortly after each time the engine is started, the self-diagnostic software for the Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA) brake modulator causes a condition that can allow air to enter the modulator pump. Over time, and after starting the engine numerous times, it is possible for enough air to enter the system to change the brake pedal feel and affect braking performance. Reduced braking performance could lead to a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.

    Issue. On certain vehicles, a rear wheel speed sensor may not have been installed correctly, which causes the sensor to report an incorrect wheel speed to the anti-lock brake system (ABS) control unit. The on-board diagnostic system quickly identifies this error under most normal driving conditions and activates numerous warning lamps and disables the ABS. Brake application below the ABS threshold, or after ABS is disabled, is not affected. However, if brake application exceeding the ABS threshold occurs before the malfunction is detected, the ABS control unit may reduce brake force to all wheels. An unexpected loss of brake force can cause a crash.

    Corrective action. Dealers will inspect the rear wheel speed sensors. If an incorrect gap is detected, the sensor will be removed and the knuckle checked for cross-threading damage and replaced, if necessary.

    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. Certain vehicles located in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and the Yukon may experience a combination of extreme low temperatures and very rough road conditions, causing a crack in the fuel sending unit flange. At this time, vehicles located in other parts of the country are not experiencing this type of failure, therefore no action will be undertaken by the manufacturer in unaffected provinces and territories. A cracked flange could allow fuel to leak which, in the presence of an ignition source, could result in a fire.

    Corrective action. Dealers will replace the fuel sending unit.

    Issue. On certain vehicles, a small amount of water may have been left in the fuel pump electrical connector after fuel tank integrity (leak) testing at the factory. This residual water may cause the fuel pump to fail due to corrosion. If the pump stops working, the engine will stall without warning, increasing the potential for a crash.

    Corrective action. Dealers will inspect for corrosion, and if required, replace the fuel pump assembly.

    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. Certain operating conditions can result in heat build-up between the countershaft and secondary shaft second gears in the automatic transmission, eventually leading to gear tooth chipping or, in very rare cases, gear breakage can occur. Gear failure could result in transmission lock-up.

    Corrective action. On vehicles with 24 000 kms or less, the dealer will update the transmission with a simple revision to the oil cooler return line to increase lubrication to second gear. On vehicles with more than 24 000 kms, the dealer will inspect the transmission to identify gears that have already experienced discoloration due to overheating. If discolouration exists, the transmission will be replaced. If discolouration is not present, the dealer will perform the revision to the oil cooler return line.

    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. On certain vehicles, a dash light dimmer circuit, mounted in the multiplex control unit may be damaged by heat build-up if the dimmer circuit is operated at a setting that is less than full intensity. This would cause a transistor in the module to fail resulting in loss of instrument cluster lighting. Such a condition would prevent the driver from reading the speedometer or other instruments when operating the vehicle in the dark.

    Corrective action. Multiplex unit will be replaced.

    Issue, risk and remedy

    Issue. On certain vehicles, a wire harness located within the engine compartment may be damaged by contact with a metal pipe, possibly resulting in a blown fuse. If a fuse blows, engine power, or operation of any or all electrical components, can be lost, including lights, windshield wipers, horn and the anti-lock function of the brakes.

    Corrective action. Dealers will install protective, corrugated plastic tubing over the wire harness and pipe. Any damaged wires will be repaired or replaced.

Fuel economy and cost

Natural Resources Canada’s combined ratings (55% city, 45% highway driving) for the newest model years it has rated. NRCan rates every drivetrain, transmission and package separately, so each row gives the range across them. The yearly cost assumes 20,000 km a year, the distance NRCan’s own fuel consumption search tool assumes, at Statistics Canada’s average self-serve price in Calgary for August 2026: regular 162.3¢/L, premium 188.4¢/L, diesel 210.6¢/L. Each rating is costed at the fuel NRCan rated it on. How far and how you drive will move it.

Canada notes

  • The 1999–2004 Odyssey was assembled in Canada at Honda’s Alliston, Ontario, plant; later generations are built in Lincoln, Alabama, and exported to Canada.[1][2]
  • Canada has had Odyssey trims of its own: the DX (2008–2010), the SE Odyssey NHL edition (2010), the SE (from the 2014 update, later offered in the US) and the Black Edition (from 2023, with Mexico).[1][6][9]
  • Two recalls are specifically about Canadian cold: the 2003–2004 fuel sending unit flange recall was limited to the Prairie provinces and the Yukon, and 2018–2020 vans had sliding door cables replaced because moisture in them could freeze.[15][19]
  • The Odyssey is front-wheel drive only. From 2025 every Canadian trim has heated front seats and a heated steering wheel.[3][7][9]
