What this means for you
Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).
The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.
Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (fuel lines) where the source explicitly states that fuel leakage in the presence of a spark could cause a fire, meeting the criteria for 'significant injury/property-damage reports' or structural defect severity.
Plain-English summary
Vantage Mobility International (VMI) is recalling 80 model year 2011 Honda Odyssey Northstar and Summit minivans. These vehicles were manufactured between June 26, 2011, and August 22, 2011, and feature wheelchair accessible conversions. The recall addresses a defect in the auxiliary fuel system where two fuel lines contain non-conductive connectors.
The non-conductive lines may fail to dissipate static electricity, which could create a spark. If fuel leaks in the presence of this spark, it could cause a fire. No specific injuries or deaths are reported in the source text, but the potential for fire is a significant safety hazard.
VMI will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the fuel lines free of charge. The safety recall began on September 29, 2011. Owners may contact VMI at 1-602-304-3265 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
