Vehicles Affected: Approximately 800,000 model-year 2011-17 Honda Odyssey minivans
The Problem: If a second-row seat is not properly latched after adjusting it side to side or reinstalling a removed seat, the seat may tip forward during moderate to heavy braking, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant.
Honda said it has received 46 reports of minor injuries related to this issue.
The Fix: Honda is currently investigating the appropriate repairs, which will be done for free. In the interim, it has created a detailed instruction sheet and will soon post a video on owners.honda.com detailing proper operation of the second-row seats and highlighting the injury risk if a seat is not latched.
