Buying a used 2023 Honda Odyssey? Check these 5 recalls first
Five recalls, four high severity: a fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine, steering components that can rust and bind, seat-sensor-related unintended airbag deployment, and wheelchair-van restraints that may not lock. A rearview camera failure is the milder one. NHTSA shows 98 unverified owner complaints, concentrated in electrical system and forward collision avoidance, with two crashes, three fires and ten injuries reported. Note the steering recall does not appear on the 2022 van.
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 steering rust/bind recall repair on the VIN
- Ask if fuel pump replacement was completed at a dealer
- Drive with driver aids active; watch for false alerts
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
