Honda has issued a recalled a total of 641,302 Odyssey minivans, model years between 2011-2016, because the second-row seats may not stay in place in the event of a crash. The second-row release lever that allows access to the third row could stay unlocked, causing the second-row seat to move unexpectedly, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) documents.
Honda claims that there have been no reported injuries related to the issue. A second, smaller recall, covers 7,549 2016 Odyssey vehicles that do not meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard’s “Seat Systems.”
According to an NHTSA notice, the second-row center seat’s horizontal adjuster bar may stick in the unlocked position, allowing the seat to unexpectedly slide. Honda has put a stop-sale on all minivans affected by the two recalls.
Honda says all owners of affected Odyssey minivans should take it to an authorized dealer for inspection. In addition, owners of these vehicles can determine now if their vehicles will later require repair by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
