What's wrong, in plain English

On some Honda Odyssey vans modified by Braun, the fuel tank can overfill and send extra fuel into the charcoal canister, which is part of the fuel system. If the canister collects more fuel than it can handle, that fuel may leak out of the vehicle. In other words, the fuel tank setup on these vans may not be containing fuel the way it's supposed to, allowing it to escape rather than staying inside the system.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359 to have your vehicle inspected.
3. If a fuel leak is found, the repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 21V010000.
