Tire Valve Problems of Honda Odyssey

This complaint does not concern a failure. It does however address a recalled tire valve stem, tech International / tr413. After having 4 new tires and valve stems installed on my 2002 Honda Odyssey minivan about 2 weeks ago, I learned of the recall notice in consumer reports magazine. Since then I went to walmart store in kenner, la. (suburb of new orleans) where the valve stems were installed and got one of the stems that are currently being installed and it is a tr413. As yet I have not had a problem with any of the 4 stems that were recently replaced, however I am concerned about their recall and their current availability and use at a major retailer. I also went to sam's club in kenner la. And found that they had the same stem on hand there too I plan to have the stems on my van replaced ASAP as tech International has offered to do so upon my request. My main concern is why the valve stems in question have not been removed from inventory at walmart, sam's and any other outlets that received them ? according to consumer reports magazine, a fatal rollover crash has already occurred in orlando, fla. And 2 recalls have been issued by tech International since then.

The valve stem apparently developed a crack and the tires (2) lost pressure almost immediately tires had approximately 30,000 miles and were placed on the vehicle 1. 5 years ago (December 2006).

After having 3 out of 4 new tires go flat due to bad valve stems, I asked the dealer to check the valve stem on the fourth tire, that hadn't gone flat yet. The valve stem was also bad and needed to be replaced, which the dealer did for free. He still is unaware of any recall problems with valve stems. Thankfully, I had him check the fourth tire.

While driving on the interstate at rush hour my front right tire went flat. This is the third tire out of four that have gone flat! the local police changed it for me. I took the tire back to where I bought it and they said the valve stem was dry rot!! another one. After expressing my concern about having 3 out of 4 tires with bad valve stems, they said that sometime this happens. Because I had driven on the tire to get to safe spot, I had to buy another new tire. Cost @128. 31.

I was running errands and could fell the car start to pull and felt they called and said that the valve stem was bad on this tire. They were able to replace the valve stem and the tire wasn't damaged. The cost to replace valve stem was $23. 31.
