2014 Honda Odyssey

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2014 Odyssey.

Body VANTransmission Automatic 6-spd

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is a minivan powered by an engine requiring 4.5 quarts of 0W-20 API oil and paired with an automatic six-speed transmission, achieving EPA ratings of 19 mpg city, 27 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined. Its reliability record shows 307 total owner complaints, with powertrain concerns leading the category, alongside five recalls. When viewed against the model’s 1990–2026 complaint history—a span whose highest complaint count reaches 972 in 2002 and whose lowest marks just one in 1994—that volume places the 2014 model year among the less troubled entries in the Odyssey’s long-term record, meaning researchers can approach it as a comparatively stable data point within a wide reliability spectrum.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2014 Honda Odyssey marks a mid-cycle point in its generation, with federal complaint data showing a noticeable uptick to 307 complaints—significantly higher than the 209 in 2013 and 199 in 2015, though still below the generation’s peak of 939 in 2018. Recalls remained steady at five, consistent with adjacent years, while investigations held at one, indicating no systemic issues warranting deeper scrutiny. The top complaint areas—power train (47), engine (36), and service brakes (35)—align with common mid-generation wear patterns but do not suggest a unique defect cluster for this model year. Compared to the broader generation arc, 2014 avoids the early teething problems of 2011–2012 and the later surge in complaints tied to aging components (e.g., 2018–2019). With no fire-related complaints and only 10 crash incidents reported, the data implies a relatively stable year. **Takeaway: The 2014 Odyssey is a sound used purchase, offering a balance of lower risk than earlier or later model years while still benefiting from mid-cycle refinements.**
