Honda Recalls 400,000 Vehicles For Brake Problem

March 2010

Honda has recalled more than 400,000 vehicles in the United States following consumer complaints of the brake pedals feeling "soft."

Approximately 334,000 Odyssey minivans and 68,000 Element crossover vehicles from the 2007-2008 model years are included in the recall. The vehicles' stability assist modulators will be repaired to fix a defect that may allow air to enter. The trapped air can make the brake pedal fall closer to the floor before the car has stopped.

Honda said it will start contacting customers at the end of April. The company encourages all owners to visit an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification that their vehicle is included in the recall.
