Honda Odyssey Tires May Have Pinholes That Leak Air

NHTSA campaign 21V768000 · Reported 2021-09-29 · Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)

medium How serious is it? About this label

Moderately serious: the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but a slowly leaking tire increases crash risk, so keep an eye on your tire pressure and get the inspection done soon.

What's wrong, in plain English

Some 2022 Honda Odyssey vans left the factory with Bridgestone tires that may have a tiny pinhole in the sidewall. The hole is too small to see, but it lets air seep out slowly, so a tire can go soft over days or weeks without any obvious warning. An underinflated tire does not grip or handle the way it should, which raises the chance of a crash. A dealer will check all four tires and replace any with a hole.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your van is included.
2. Call your Honda dealer, or Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 (recall number HBL), and book the tire inspection.
3. Have all four tires checked; any tire with a pinhole is replaced free of charge.
