Plain-English summary

Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The recall involves the second row outboard seats, which can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker.

If the seat tips forward unexpectedly during braking, it can increase the risk of injury. The recall began April 2, 2018. Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to the second row outboard floor strikers, free of charge.
