Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2017 Honda Odyssey sits at a notable trough in the generation's federal record, recording only 39 complaints and 2 recalls—its lowest complaint count across the entire dataset and among the lowest recall figures observed. This represents a significant drop from 2016's 263 complaints and 6 recalls, and precedes a dramatic surge: the 2018 model year immediately following recorded 939 complaints and 16 recalls, with 4 investigations opened. The 2019 model year continued elevated with 887 complaints, 20 recalls, and 4 investigations. The 2017 model's top complaint areas were engine (6), unknown/other (5), powertrain (4), and electrical system (3), with 3 crash-related complaints and zero fire complaints. The data does not specify the root cause of the 2018 spike, but it indicates the generation experienced escalating reliability concerns that began after the 2017 model year. Takeaway: 2017 was the most favorable year within this generation arc, offering substantially fewer complaints and recalls than the models immediately following; however, as part of a generation that saw significant issues emerge in 2018–2019, buyers should still conduct thorough due diligence on individual vehicles and confirm all applicable recalls have been addressed.
