Buying a used 2020 Honda Odyssey? Check these 14 recalls first
Two critical recalls apply: third-row outlet wiring that can overheat and a fuel leak and fire risk on Braun-modified vans. High-severity items include sliding doors that may open while moving, seat belts that may not latch, fuel pump stalling, and two seat sensor airbag issues; two medium recalls cover a blank dashboard and backup camera. Of 460 unverified NHTSA complaints, collision avoidance (176), electrical (160) and lane departure (123) lead, with 20 injuries 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.
- Verify the third-row outlet wiring recall was done, and ask whether this is a Braun conversion.
- Restart the van several times and confirm the dashboard and backup camera display every time.
- Check that the sliding doors latch fully and ask whether the seat sensor recalls were completed.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
