Consumer Description

ALTERNATOR BRACKET (STAY) HAS BROKEN FOR NO APPARENT REASON. NO WORK PERFORMED ON ENGINE NEAR BRACKET WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A NEW SERPENTINE BELT. MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS FROM SEVERAL OWNERS OF 2002 TO 2004 HONDA ODYSSEY, REGARDING REOCCURRING BREAK. SOME CASES THE PART HAS BROKEN NUMEROUS TIMES. THIS IS A POORLY MANUFACTURED PART AND HONDA MOTOR COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL ALL VEHICLES, AND REPLACE WITH RESTRUCTURED PART. THE BRACKET BREAKING CAUSES ALTERNATOR FAILURE, WHICH CAUSES THE ENGINE TO SHUTDOWN. IF THIS HAPPENS IN A TRAFFIC SITUATION, BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGERS COULD BE AT RISK OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
