Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2022 Odyssey.
The 2022 Honda Odyssey is specified with a 5.7-quart 0W-20 oil capacity and an Automatic (S10) transmission, carrying EPA fuel-economy ratings of 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Its reliability profile shows 127 owner complaints and 10 recalls, with the Electrical System standing out as the top complaint area. Set against the nameplate’s 1990–2026 complaint span—from a low of 1 in 1994 to a high of 972 in 2002—the 2022 model sits well below the historical peak, marking a relatively quiet year in the Odyssey’s documented reliability history.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2022 Honda Odyssey posts 127 complaints, 10 recalls, 2 investigations, and 131 TSBs—figures that are essentially flat versus 2021 (126/8/2/152) and only modestly elevated over 2023 (88/6/1/74), placing it squarely in the mid-cycle of the fifth generation. That generation opened notoriously rough: 2018 logged 939 complaints and 16 recalls, 2019 escalated to 887 complaints and a 20-recall peak, and 2020 still carried 424 complaints and 14 recalls, after which the curve bends sharply downward through 2021 and stabilizes at the lower, more typical levels seen on 2022. The 2022 record's four crash and two fire complaints are low in absolute terms, and the leading complaint buckets—Electrical System (16), Forward Collision Avoidance (14), Power Train (13), and Unknown/Other (13)—reflect mostly software-and-sensor-style issues rather than a single dominant mechanical defect, with the underlying root causes not specified in the data. The bump from 8 to 10 recalls year-over-year is worth noting, but it remains a fraction of the 2018–2020 launch-era count and tracks the typical TSB/recall churn of a recently refreshed minivan. Bottom line: the 2022 is a defensible used buy—it sits past the well-documented early-generation spike, shows no outsized crash or fire signal, and presents a more settled quality profile than the 2018–2020 cars, though a pre-purchase recall verification and a scan for any open electrical or FCW-related campaigns are still warranted.
