What’s wrong with it?
An unlocked second row outboard seat increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2010, to October 1, 2015.
The affected vehicles have second row outboard seats that have a release lever that allows the seats to move for easier access to the third row of seats.
This release lever may remain in the unlocked position allowing the seats to move unexpectedly.
