Honda Odyssey minivan recalled for faulty tailgate struts

Wed, 22 Feb 2012

Honda said on Wednesday that it will recall about 45,800 Odyssey minivans from the 2008 and 2009 model years to replace the power-tailgate struts.

Honda says the gas-filled struts that support the tailgate are prone to early failure. This could lead to the tailgate closing unexpectedly. Two injuries related to the problem have been reported.

Honda is encouraging owners of affected vehicles to take their minivans to an authorized dealership as soon as they receive notification from Honda. Letters will be mailed to owners in mid-March. Owners also can go to www.recalls.honda.com or call (800) 999-1009 to find out whether their vehicles are affected.
