The Japanese automaker has issued a large-scale recall of one of its models due to a fire risk. The company's statement called for the Odyssey model mini van to be recalled for the issues to be fixed for all the cars with problems. With new efforts to revitalize sales, particularly with its Acura division, the recall may cause problems for the car manufacturer.

Honda Motor recalled 886,815 Odyssey minivans from the 2005 to 2010 year models, read a statement by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). USA Today reports that Honda investigated possible problems with the car's fuel cap strainer cover.

According to their investigation, which began in 2012, exposure to certain chemicals like those found in car washes, fertilizers and dust control agents, as well as high temperature, causes premature deterioration of the cover, which is manufactured by Denso.

Though no crashes or fires have been reported, the cracks may cause fuel gases to escape or fuel to leak out and could pose a fire risk. Honda will notify owners within the next month and will replace all covers. Those whose cars have been leaking will have it replaced with one of the current covers until the new type of cover becomes available.

With all attention on the recall, Honda's attempts to up the branding of its Acura sibling may come with complications. According to the Los Angeles Times, the Japanese carmaker decided to separate its sale and marketing efforts from its Acura luxury brand to improve sales and branding.

In the past year, Acura has sold only 165,000 cars in the United States, considerably less than previous years and other luxury brands. According to the LA Times, the car company has struggled to reach the same status level as other luxury car brands.
