- Approximately 7,600 Odyssey minivans affected in the United States
- Second row center seat slide latch mechanism will be inspected, and, if needed, adjusted, free of charge
- No crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue
American Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 7,600 Odyssey minivans from the 2016 model year to inspect and, if needed, adjust the slide latch mechanism for the second row center seat, free of charge. No crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue, which was discovered during internal quality checks.
The latch mechanism that allows the second row center seat to slide forward and rearward may not properly lock the seat into place when the seat adjustment handle is released, increasing the risk of injury to passengers seated in the second row. An authorized Honda dealer will inspect the latch mechanism and, if needed, adjust it to ensure proper operation.
Honda is announcing this recall to encourage all owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer for inspection as soon as they receive notification from Honda about this recall. Mailed notification to customers will begin in late-January 2017. In addition, owners of these vehicles can determine if their vehicles require inspection now by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
