The 2009 Honda Odyssey has 3 recalls, the most serious being a brake fluid leak that can gradually reduce stopping power to the point where the brakes stop working entirely, with no warning to the driver.
A separate fuel system concern involves the fuel pump strainer cover, which can deteriorate and allow gasoline to leak out of the tank assembly. A fuel leak near ignition sources raises the risk of a fire. On the liftgate side, this recall only affects vehicles equipped with the power liftgate system: the gas-filled struts that hold the rear hatch open can lose pressure prematurely, causing the liftgate to drop unexpectedly and strike anyone standing beneath it.

At a glance
What can fail
The front brake hoses installed during manufacturing are incorrect. They can rub against the caliper bolt, eventually wearing through and leaking brake fluid, which reduces braking performance.
What the fix does
Dealers will inspect both front brake hoses and replace them with the correct ones at no cost.
