Recall 19V213 affects 404 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey wheelchair-ramp vehicles for misrouted rear wheel speed sensor harnesses. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
Honda is recalling 404 2018-2019 Odyssey vans modified with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion because affected vehicles have rear wheel speed sensor harnesses routed to the wrong rear wheels. Incorrect wheel speed readings can keep the anti-lock brake system from preventing wheel lockup, increasing crash risk; Honda dealers will correct the harness routing free of charge.

What's wrong?
The rear wheel speed sensor harness on a 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey carries the electrical signal from each rear wheel speed sensor to the brake control system. The sensor tells the anti-lock brake system and electronic stability control system how fast that wheel is turning. Those systems use that information to manage braking and traction during a turn.
On affected wheelchair-accessible Odyssey conversions with an in-floor ramp, the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses were routed to the wrong rear wheels during production. That sends wheel-speed information to the wrong side of the vehicle. During a sharp turn, the brake and stability systems can read the rear wheel speeds incorrectly and respond as if traction has changed, which can cause unexpected deceleration.
Drivers can feel the vehicle slow unexpectedly while making a sharp turn. The traction control warning light can also turn on when the vehicle is turned more than 90 degrees in either direction.
Who's affected?
Covers the 2018 and 2019 Odyssey model years, both tied to the anti-lock brake system (ABS).
| 2018 Honda Odyssey | anti-lock brake system (ABS) |

| Units affected | 404 |
| Field incidents | NHTSA has logged 2 field incidents to date. |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific minivan is included.
What's the safety risk?
If rear wheel speeds are not monitored correctly, the anti-lock brake system can fail to engage properly to prevent wheel lockup, increasing crash risk. Watch for unexpected deceleration during a sharp turn or a traction-control warning light after turning more than 90 degrees. Schedule the inspection and correction soon. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free rear wheel speed sensor harness inspection and correction, which fixes incorrect harness routing for the anti-lock brake system.
- Bring any recall notice you received. Reference recall number 19V213 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the dealer completes the inspection. Leave extra following distance and avoid hard braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the rear wheel speed sensor harness routing on the converted Odyssey and checks that each harness is connected to the correct rear wheel. If the harnesses are routed incorrectly, the technician corrects the routing so the anti-lock brake and stability control systems can read rear wheel speed properly. The inspection and any needed correction are free under the recall. Braun has already notified owners, so the repair is available now.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 19V213?
Recall 19V213 covers 404 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey vehicles modified with an in-floor wheelchair ramp conversion. The defect involves rear wheel speed sensor harness routing, which can stop the anti-lock brake system from reading rear wheel speeds correctly and increase crash risk.
What should I do if my 2018-2019 Honda Odyssey is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Odyssey is included in recall 19V213. If it is, contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule an inspection of the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses. The dealer will correct the routing if needed, free of charge.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires the manufacturer to perform the recall repair at no cost. For recall 19V213, the dealer inspects the rear wheel speed sensor harnesses and corrects them if needed. Parts and labor are covered.
What is the safety risk?
The safety risk is reduced anti-lock brake system performance. If the rear wheel speeds are not monitored correctly, the anti-lock brake system can fail to prevent wheel lockup during braking, increasing crash risk. The free dealer inspection and harness correction address the defect.
What if I bought my Honda Odyssey used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the VIN, not the first owner. If you bought the Odyssey used or never received the April 4, 2019 owner notice, check your VIN and reference recall number 19V213 when you call the dealer.
