    Parking brake:driveline:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings

    Honda is recalling 421 my 2009 odyssey vehicles. During assembly, incorrect front brake hoses were installed. The brake hose can contact the caliper bolt and over time a hole may develop which will allow brake fluid to leak. This would eventually result in reduced brake system performance.

    Risk: Drivers would not be aware of brake system failure and braking capability would not be possible, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Remedy: Dealers will inspect both front brake hoses and replace with the correct brake hoses free of charge. The recall began on february 12, 2009. Owners may contact honda at 1-800-999-1009.
