CarRecallWatch- Component
- SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:ANTILOCK:WHEEL SPEED SENSOR
- Problem
- Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Honda Odyessy vehicles modified to be equipped with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion. The rear wheel speed sensor harnesses may have been routed to the incorrect rear wheels, resulting in the possibility that the anti-lock brake system will not recognize each rear wheel speed properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake System" and 404, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."
- Risk
- If the rear wheel speeds cannot be correctly monitored, the anti-lock brake system may not engage properly to prevent the wheels from locking up, increasing the risk of crash.
- Remedy
- Braun has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses, if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 4, 2019. Owners may contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
- Notes
- 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.
What this recall means for you
Some 2018 and 2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles modified with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion may have rear wheel speed sensor harnesses routed to the wrong rear wheels. As a result, the anti-lock brake system may not correctly monitor each rear wheel's speed, and the vehicle may not meet federal brake and electronic stability control standards.
If the rear wheel speeds cannot be read correctly, the anti-lock brakes may not engage properly to keep the wheels from locking up during hard braking. That increases the risk of a crash.
Owners should contact Braun customer service at 1-800-488-0359 about this recall. Braun has notified owners, and dealers will inspect and correct the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses if needed, at no cost. You can also check your vehicle's VIN for open recalls.
