Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2026 Odyssey.
The 2026 Honda Odyssey arrives as the latest iteration of the model’s long‑running minivan lineage, equipped with an automatic S10 transmission and delivering an EPA‑rated 19 mpg city, 28 mpg highway, and 22 mpg combined fuel economy. With only 17 total owner complaints recorded and three recalls to date, the vehicle’s reliability profile is markedly low, especially when contrasted with the model’s historical range of complaints from 1990 through 2026. The Odyssey’s complaint record peaks in 2002 with 972 issues and hits a low of a single complaint in 1994, positioning the 2026 edition near the bottom of its historical grievance spectrum and suggesting a comparatively robust standing in the model’s reliability chronology.

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The fifth-generation Odyssey, launched in 2018, initially recorded high complaint volumes (939) and recalls (16), but these figures steadily declined through 2024, with a brief complaint spike to 237 in 2025. The 2026 model year shows a sharp drop to just 18 complaints, 3 recalls, 0 investigations, and 11 TSBs, placing it at the lowest point of the generation’s trend arc. Its top complaint areas are minor and unspecified, with no crash or fire incidents reported. This suggests that by 2026, the platform had matured and most early issues were resolved, making it a particularly stable year. For a used buyer, the 2026 Odyssey represents a low-risk choice, though you should confirm the three recalls have been addressed.
