2025 HONDA ODYSSEY — Complaint #2122422
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:BODY CONTROL MODULE/BCM filed August 20, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2122422 (ODI reference 11681936) concerns a 2025 HONDA ODYSSEY and was filed on August 20, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 8, 2025. The vehicle had 10,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:body control module/bcm, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ODYSSEY cohort independently describe similar electrical system:body control module/bcm failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2025 HONDA ODYSSEY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The contact owns a 2025 Honda Odyssey.
