Honda sent me a recall notice for piston ring deterioration which causes engine misfiring on August 1, 2025. I had the same issue with my Honda Odyssey and had it repaired in July 8, 2024 so I submitted a claim form for reimbursement. Honda denied my reimbursement request stating my work order did not contain a fail code readout. However, my work order stated that the engine misfiring was due to cylinder #1 and oil was found. The work order also states that the piston rings were replaced to correct the issue. The cause and solution are exactly the same as Honda's recall. This engine misfiring causes my van to lose power as I was backing out of the driveway. Had this happened on the freeway it would have been disastrous. I felt Honda is being disingenuous in its recall effort in denying me of the exact problem as specified in the recall.

Last year in 2024 we had to take our Honda Odyssey into the Honda dealership because something was going wrong with the engine. It ended up being a few of the cylinders and they went bad. They had to rebuild part of the engine.

Vehicle diagnosed with Code P0303 on 8/18/25. Per the dealer (Big Star Honda, Houston TX), "...Examination found the number three cylinder piston rings on cylinder #3 rotated and aligned, which caused spark plug to foul out." In October 2020, American Honda issued SB 13-081 for this known issue and to settle a class action lawsuit. In July 2025 American Honda issued SB 25-061 extending the warranty for 2013–17 Odysseys through January 31, 2026. Honda is denying covering repairs stating that it does not apply to my specific VIN. The VIN is inconsequential if the new SB simply states "2013-2017". All vehicles, regardless of VIN should be repaired given that the problem has been diagnosed as identified in both the 2020 and 2025 SBs. Absent this and a listing in the SB of all applicable VINs, Honda can always indicate that a VIN isn't covered to avoid covering the repair costs, even though it should be. Repair at Big Star was declined to pursue coverage of the repair costs further with American Honda.
