What's wrong?
The fuel tank assembly on affected 2018-2021 Honda Odyssey vehicles stores gasoline and feeds it to the engine without letting liquid fuel escape. The charcoal canister is part of the evaporative emissions system, which traps fuel vapors from the tank so they do not vent directly outside the vehicle.
On these Braun-modified Odysseys, the fuel tank assembly can allow the tank to overfill into the charcoal canister. That can put liquid fuel into a part designed to handle vapor, not a steady amount of gasoline. If enough fuel enters the canister, fuel can leak out instead of staying contained inside the fuel system.
There is no warning sign before failure. A leak is the point at which the defect has already shown itself, so fuel around the tank or canister area needs dealer attention.
Who's affected?

What's the safety risk?
In recall 21V010, a fuel leak near an ignition source can raise the risk of fire. If your VIN is included and you smell fuel or see leaking fuel, park in a safe place and contact a Honda dealer before driving farther. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2018-2021 Honda Odyssey is included in this recall.
- Look for the Braun owner notice mailed February 22, 2021, and keep it with the vehicle records.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to ask whether the free fuel-system inspection is open for your VIN.
- Schedule the free fuel-system inspection and fuel-tank assembly or Honda charcoal-canister replacement if fuel leakage is found.
- Reference recall number 21V010 when you call the dealer.
What happens at the repair
The source remedy says Braun will notify owners and dealers will inspect the vehicle. Once the dealer repair is available, a Honda technician will check for signs of a fuel leak. When a leak is found, the dealer installs a new fuel tank assembly and a new Honda charcoal canister. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Call the Honda dealer with the VIN and describe the Braun modified Odyssey recall so the service desk can confirm the inspection path before the vehicle is brought in.
