Trims covered

• DX

Known issues on the 2009 Odyssey. Four recalls are on federal record for this model year. A replacement fuel pump module sold for these vans can send a false reading to the fuel gauge, showing 3/4 full to full regardless of actual level, so a driver can run out of fuel and stall. Separately, the factory fuel pump strainer cover can deteriorate and let fuel leak out, raising the risk of a fire. The gas-filled struts on power liftgate models can suffer an early manufacturing-flaw leak that lowers strut performance, letting the liftgate close unexpectedly and risk injury. And on a batch of 421 2009 Odysseys built with incorrect front brake hoses, the hose can contact the caliper bolt, wear a hole over time, and leak brake fluid until braking performance is reduced without warning to the driver. Owners have filed 198 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

From tracing a fuel gauge that won't move to inspecting a power liftgate strut or a front brake hose routing, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Odyssey.
