Buying a used 2019 Honda Odyssey? Check these 20 recalls first
Like the 2018, this year carries three critical recalls: third-row outlet wiring overheating, engines seizing from a faulty bearing, and fuel leak and fire risk on Braun-modified vans. High-severity items add a timing belt that can lose teeth, airbags that may not deploy, rear brakes, sliding door latching and opening, rollaway, and fuel pump stalling. Among 956 unverified NHTSA complaints, collision avoidance (224), electrical (219) and lane departure (158) lead; seven fires and 15 crashes were reported.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the engine bearing, outlet wiring and timing belt recalls were all performed on this VIN.
- Test both sliding doors for secure latching and check for an airbag warning light.
- Ask directly about any overheating, burning smell or fire history and get service records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
