Description of the problem	I officially purchased a used 2011 honda odyssey from a local honda dealership on october 5, 2016. Before i left with the new vehicle, the dealership service division replaced both the front and rear brake pads on the vehicle (see attached photos for service/repair invoice dated 10/4/2016). On october 7-8, 2016, i drove the car on a state highway in some mountainous areas both on a uphill and downhill slope at about 30-50 mph. I noticed that especially when driving on a downward slope, when i applied the brakes even slightly, the car began to perceptibly shudder. The greater the slope of the road, the greater the shuddering effect. I returned with the vehicle to the honda dealership for another unrelated reason, but inquired about the shuddering and asked if during the dealership's safety inspections if any problems related to the brakes had been discovered, since the pads were brand new. The technician at the dealership informed me that the rotors had been warped due to excessive heat from braking. After i pressed him for more information, he told me that virtually every recently-produced honda odyssey (i. E., models manufactured in the last 5-10 years) that he had seen come through the service division experienced a similar warping problem after nearly every 30,000-40,000 miles driven. In his opinion, the rotors installed in honda odysseys were actually much too small (i. E., they did not have enough surface area) to be able to withstand the high amounts of heat caused by the large brakes required for the relatively larger model of vehicle (the van). He went as far as to tell me that he was accustomed to installing larger-than-recommended rotors in some of his customers' vans to try and avoid the problem. He said he wouldn't be surprised if a recall would be forthcoming on the rotors. I would like to request an investigation on these rotors to initiate such a recall.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
