Plain-English summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2014 Odyssey vehicles manufactured between October 2, 2013, and December 16, 2013. The recall involves approximately 24,889 vehicles.
The defect involves the shorting terminal, an electrical connector used to prevent air bag deployment before installation.
