2008–2009 Honda Odyssey recall: body & structure
⚠️ What's wrong
Honda is recalling certain model year 2008-2009 Odyssey vehicles, the gas-filled struts that help to raise and support the liftgate of vehicles equipped with a power liftgate system may be prone to early life failures due to a manufacturing flaw. The flaw CAN result in a leak of the pressurized gas, leading to reduced strut performance.
💥 The risk
Struts with diminished performance CAN lead to unexpected closure, increasing the risk of personal injury.
🔧 The fix
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace both power liftgate gas struts free of charge. The safety recall began on march 12, 2012. Owners may contact honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
