1999 HONDA ODYSSEY Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1999 Honda Odyssey has 7 recalls, the most serious being a throttle that can freeze open in cold, wet weather and keep the vehicle accelerating even after the driver lifts off the gas pedal, raising the risk of a crash. Several recalls concern the sliding doors failing to latch properly. A separate issue with the power door lock actuator can leave the activation lever out of position when the door closes, also resulting in an unlatched door. In both cases, a door that appears closed can swing open while the vehicle is moving. On the mechanical side, a wire harness in the engine compartment can rub against a metal pipe until the insulation wears through and blows a fuse, which can cut power to the engine, headlights, windshield wipers, horn, or the anti-lock brake function. There is also an electrical concern inside the cabin: the dashboard light dimmer circuit can overheat when the dimmer is set below full brightness, burning out a transistor and leaving the instrument cluster dark at night.
