What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 8 model years this bulletin names have filed 902 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 405 of them name Engine — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
While driving my 2026 Honda Odyssey, I stopped at a red light and the engine shut off through the Auto Idle Stop system. I pressed the Auto Idle Stop OFF button because I wanted the engine running again before proceeding. Instead of restarting the engine, the vehicle completely shut down and became inoperable in traffic.

Three times now since buying my van about 6 months ago brand new, I come to a stop light, the engine turns off, but then it won't come back on when the light turns green. I have had to put my hazards on while I frantically push the start button multiple times. Eventually it will start up but takes 1-2 minutes.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Honda ATI&05122026902 a recall?
No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the ATI&05122026902 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Honda warranty extension on file lists the ones Honda has filed.
Which vehicles does ATI&05122026902 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years: 2026 Honda Odyssey, 2025 Honda Odyssey, 2024 Honda Odyssey, 2025 Honda Passport, 2024 Honda Passport, 2026 Honda Ridgeline and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
