Defect
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2014-2016 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats have a lever to fold the seatback and slide the seat forward to access the third row seats. Due to a manufacturing error, if the walk-in release lever is used to fold a fully reclined left outboard seatback forward, the seatback may stay in the unlocked position (free-folding) or unexpectedly unlock without engaging the walk-in or recliner lever.
Consequence
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Corrective Action
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. If the seatback cannot lock, dealers will replace the seatback frame assembly. These repairs will be performed free of charge. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is X0R.

Corrective Action
The remedy for this recall is still under development. Honda will notify owners of the safety risk in an interim notification and provide detailed instructions for installing/positioning the second row outer seats and confirming that they are securely latched. Once a final remedy is determined and the necessary parts are available, Honda will send a second letter to the owners to have them visit a dealer to have the condition remedied, free of charge. The interim notification is expected to begin December 18, 2017. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is S0G.

NHTSA identifies three rear-seat recalls for the 2014 Honda Odyssey. A seatback or seat may remain unlocked, fail to latch correctly, tip forward during braking, or move unexpectedly. These conditions can increase the risk of injury in a crash. NHTSA also identifies an air bag recall involving a passenger-side side-curtain air bag that may fail to deploy if an electrical connector was damaged during assembly. Because these systems help protect occupants, delaying a recall check can leave a known safety concern unresolved.
