2008 Honda Odyssey: fuel pump failure

Filed Feb 2, 2022 · Fuel system · NJ

On my car there was a recall on the fuel pump filter housing. I've been to a dealer with this where they didn't replace the case. The car started to smell like gasoline. I opened the pump cover and saw a crack in the pump filter housing(is in the picture).I reported it to the dealer(honda Hamilton NJ) but they dismissed me saying it was not their problem because they did not replace the part. I reported it to honda usa where after three weeks they told me the same thing. On their website it clearly states "HONDA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS, AND DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER SET ON THE FUEL PUMP ASSEMBLY...". My question is why they don't replace the filter housing when it says it's a fire hazard. Thank You

Reference campaign id: 14v112000. Affects 888,000+ honda odyssey mini-vans built between 2005 to 2010. Recall issue: fuel pump cover may crack & leak fuel. Fuel pump is located in center rear of auto. A smell of gasoline is present after the mini-van has been running. Complaint: VIN for 2008 honda odyssey showing 0 (zero) recall issues unattended. However, the fuel pump cover on this odyssey is leaking. Possible causes: 1) recall notice and service to replace fuel pump cover was not issued; 2) replacement fuel pump cover service was performed but was not installed properly, or has failed again. Honda was supposed to replace fuel pump cover w/ improved version that was designed to eliminate this problem. If an original part replacement cover was installed as part of the recall, this was to be considered temporary until the improved version was available, honda was to notify owners and replace the fuel pump cover w/ improved version. What remedies/actions are available?

For some reason my particular van is not included in at least 2 recalls where other same year odysseys are included. These all have the same engine, transmission and fuel system. My van was diagnosed by a mechanic as having a fuel pump module leak, which is recalled for some 2008 odussseys, but curiously not for mine. The same situation exists for the tailgate stay gas leakage, again, also recalled on some 2008 odysseys but not all.

The van was operating normally until parked over night in drive way. Our driveway is slightly inclined and the vehicle was parked with engine facing forward. The next morning the car started fine and was warming up. 5 minutes later it stalled out and would not restart. I had the car towed to the dealership and after 2 days they said they said they could not find a problem. About 1 month later the same exact problem occurred. The van is again scheduled for service this week. I noticed a similar posting on this web site claiming that the fuel pump is located behind the gas tank and it was designed this way. Therefore there is no fix to this claim. Knowing this detail, I went outside and put the van in neutral to let the van coast to a more level state. The vehicle then started after the 2nd attempt. I'm still going to keep the scheduled appointment for service as I feel this condition is unacceptable. I've owned 2 other honda's (different models) and never experienced this type of condition while living at the same residence.

Tl*the contact owns a 2008 honda odyssey. The contact left the engine running while the vehicle was parked and it suddenly shut off. With a half a tank of fuel in the vehicle, it would not restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the gas tank was defective. The fuel pump is at the rear of the tank; therefore, if the vehicle is parked facing downhill, fuel cannot flow back to the vehicle for it to start. The manufacturer stated that the vehicle could not be repaired because it was designed in that manner. The failure and current mileages were 8,100.
