Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2023 Honda Odyssey sits near the end of a significant downward trend in complaint and recall activity that began after a pronounced spike in 2018–2019, when complaints peaked at 939 and 887 respectively with 16–20 recalls per year. From that high point, the data shows a consistent decline across all metrics: complaints dropped from 424 in 2020 to 127 in 2022, then to 88 in 2023, while recalls fell from 14 to 10 to 6 over the same span, and TSBs dropped from 131 to 74. By 2024, complaints had further declined to 74 with only 4 recalls. Notably, 2025 shows an uptick back to 236 complaints, though it is too early to determine whether this represents a new trend or a reporting anomaly; 2026 data remains minimal. The top complaint areas for 2023—forward collision avoidance (11), electrical system (6), and structure (5)—suggest lingering technology and build-quality concerns, though the raw numbers are modest compared to earlier years in this generation. With only 2 crash complaints and 3 fire complaints recorded, the 2023 model represents the lowest-distress year in recent history within this generation. The 2023 Honda Odyssey appears to be a comparatively sound model year within this generation, benefiting from post-2019 quality improvements, though prospective buyers should monitor whether the 2025 complaint uptick signals emerging issues worth tracking.
