04-07 ABS/VSA modulators should be recalled- complain to the NHTSA

410,000 Odyssey's and Element's are being recalled because the brakes fail because the VSA/ABS modulators leak air into the system.

Acura/Honda has been aware of the exact same problem with the RL, TL and TSX for 2.5 years and all they've done is issue a TSB for our cars. Look at the date on the TSB.

Seriously, what does this have to do with air getting into the brake line via the ABS modulator?

If you haven't noticed this before reading the TSB, then you don't have the problem. Really, just because there's a TSB doesn't mean there's any need for a recall, or that your vehicle has the problem. TSB's don't tell people that there is a problem with their vehicle, they tell the mechanics that an issue has surfaced more than once and this procedure has been the cause in most of those instances.
