What is the brake hold system problem on the 2019 Honda Odyssey?

I bought a used Odyssey recently, but I’ve just learned that there’s a problem with the brake system. Should I be worried about my 2019 Honda Odyssey van?

It’s always good to pay attention to vehicle safety news. You’re right—the 2019
Honda Odyssey
was recalled for brake system problems. This was after the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) received 170 warranty claims and over 90 owner complaints.
So, what’s the problem exactly? During production, hydrogen might have been trapped in the brake lines, which compromises the hydraulic circuit. In simple terms, when you brake, pressure in the line makes the pedal feel soft, so you can’t brake as easily or effectively as you need to.
If you suspect your Honda Odyssey is affected and wasn’t fixed, head to a Honda service center where they can bleed the brake system. That should fix the problem!
