Buying a used 2020 Honda Odyssey? Check these 14 recalls first

14 NHTSA recalls · 460 owner complaints on file

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

  1. 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.
  2. Verify the third-row outlet wiring recall was done, and ask whether this is a Braun conversion.
  3. Restart the van several times and confirm the dashboard and backup camera display every time.
  4. Check that the sliding doors latch fully and ask whether the seat sensor recalls were completed.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
