FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE
- The defect
- Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2018-2021 Braun-modified Honda Odyssey vehicles. The fuel tank assembly installed by Braun may be susceptible to the fuel tank overfilling into the charcoal canister. If the charcoal canister fills with a sufficient amount of fuel, fuel may leak out.
- What it can cause
- A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may increase the risk of fire.
- What the dealer does
- Braun will notify owners, and dealers will inspect vehicles. If evidence of a fuel leak is present, a new fuel tank assembly and a new Honda charcoal canister will be installed, free of charge. The recall began February 22, 2021. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,258 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 61% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 3 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the fuel system, gasoline 30 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V797000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,497 complaints with NHTSA, 312 of them before this campaign was filed. 96 of those name the fuel system, gasoline, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2017, 3 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 16 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V423000 (back over prevention), 26V332000 (air bags), 26V227000 (air bags), 25V877000 (equipment adaptive/mobility).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Braun Corporation with NHTSA on January 14, 2021 as campaign 21V010000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
