NHTSA campaign 18V170000 · 254,568 vehicles

Problem
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Honda Odyssey vehicles.

Risk
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Fix
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will confirm proper operation of the second row left outboard seatback, and install a support bracket to the seat recliner.
