Statement by American Honda Regarding Driver’s Side Second Row Seatback Recall: 2014-2016 Honda Odyssey
- 254,568 Odyssey minivans are affected in United States
- Driver's side 2nd row seatback may not lock in place after being reclined
- No injuries reported related to this defect
Honda will voluntarily recall 254,568 previous generation Odyssey vehicles (model years 2014-2016) in the United States to repair the driver's side second row seatback mechanism, for free. If it is determined during the repair that the seatback recliner is unable to lock because of this defect, the seatback frame will also be replaced, for free. The driver's side second row outer seat seatback may not lock back into position after being reclined using the walk-in lever or if the walk-in lever is activated while the seat is fully reclined. An unlocked seatback may move unexpectedly during acceleration, braking or during a crash, increasing the possibility of injury to a seated passenger. Honda has received no reports of injuries related to this issue.
Honda is announcing this recall to encourage vehicle owners to seek the free recall repairs as soon as they receive notification from Honda. Mailed notification to vehicle owners will begin in late-April 2018, and owners of these vehicles can determine now if their vehicles are included in the recall by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
