Big Island Honda - Kona

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number:     10V504000

Summary:     
Honda is recalling certain Model Year 2005-2007 ODYSSEY VEHICLES.  Break fluid containing polymers is used that acts as a lubricant for certain break systems components. If replacement break fluid is used that does not contain such polymers, or that contains only small amounts, a part of the rubber seal located at the rear of the break master cylinder may become dry, and the seal may curl during movement of the piston.  If this occurs, a small amount of brake fluid could slowly leak from the seal into the brake booster.

Consequence:     
A leak of brake fluid could lead to a change in brake pedal feel and overtime a degradation in braking performance increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy:   
Dealer will replace the brake Master Cylinder Seal FREE OF CHARGE.  The Manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule.  Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
