NHTSA Complaint #10845922 — 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY

THE TAILGATE STRUTS ON MY 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY FAILED ON 3/7/2016. WHEN I OPEN THE LIFTGATE ON OUR VAN NOW, THE STRUTS THAT CAUSE THE LIFTGATE TO OPEN EASILY ARE NOT WORKING. THIS MEANS YOU HAVE TO RAISE THE TAILGATE MANUALLY AND USE A STICK OF SOME KIND TO KEEP THE TAILGATE OPEN. I FOUND THAT A RECALL WAS ISSUED AROUND 2012 FOR LIFTGATE PROBLEMS ON THE 2008-2009 HONDA ODYSSEY. THE INFORMATION I FOUND SAID THAT THE NHTSA CAMPAIGN FOR THIS RECALL HAS THE ID: #12V062000 MY ODYSSEY'S VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE INCLUDED IN THAT RECALL. SINCE I AM AFFECTED BY THE SAME PROBLEM IDENTIFIED IN THE RECALL, I'D LIKE FOR THE RECALL TO BE EXPANDED TO INCLUDE MY VIN SO WE CAN BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR. THE VIN FOR MY 2008 HONDA ODYSSEY IS: [XXX] HERE IS THE WEBSITE WHERE I FOUND OUT ABOUT THE RECALL: HTTP://WWW.THECARCONNECTION.COM/NEWS/1073272_2008-2009-HONDA-ODYSSEY-RECALLED-FOR-LIFTGATE-PROBLEM INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
