American Honda is recalling about 420 Odyssey vans from the 2009 model year to fix a brake problem.
The company said that during assembly, incorrect brake hoses were installed. Over time, the hose can contact the caliper bolt, potentially creating a hole through which brake fluid could leak.
This could cause sudden brake system failure.
Dealers will inspect both front brake hoses and replace them if necessary. For more information, owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
Consumers may contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY: 1-800-424-9153) or at www.safercar.gov.
