Safety Recall: Element And Odyssey: Air In VSA Modulator Control Unit Causes Low/Soft Brake Pedal

This recall applies to:

2007 Element- ALL
2008 Element 2WD- From VIN 5J6YH1...8L0000001 thru 5J6YH1...8L015906
2008 Element 4WD- From VIN 5J6YH2...8L0000001 thru 5J6YH2...8L018137
2007-2008 Odyssey- ALL
What is the reason for this notice?
The two plugs that seals the sides of the VSA modulator control unit may allow a small amount of air to enter the brake system during system initialization at vehicle start up. Over time, enough air can enter the modulator to make the brake lower and softer than normal. In rare cases, excessive air entering the VSA modulator control unit could lower the vehicle's braking performance, increasing the risk of a crash.
