Seats, mid/rear assemblyMar 13, 2018
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.
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
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. The recall began May 7, 2018. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is X0R.

Steering, Electrical system, Fuel/propulsion system, Sep 16, 2014
HAD PROBLEMS STARTING THE VEHICLE EARLIER IN THE DAY - INFO DISPLAY SHOWED A WARNING ABOUT MULTIPLE SYSTEMS AND WOULDN'T START THE ENGINE. HONDA INVESTIGATED, NO FAULT FOUND, BUT "TWO CELLS IN BATTERY LOW." THEY PROVIDED A PROBABLE CAUSE OF "SOME LIGHT LEFT ON IN THE CAR WHICH DRAINED THE BATTERY" (WHICH WE KNEW NOT TO BE THE CASE). SAME FAULT OCCURRED AFTER LEAVING DEALERSHIP, TURNED OFF AND ON A COUPLE OF TIMES, AND THEN IT RESTARTED. DRIVING HOME AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH THE CAR TURNED ITSELF OFF - NO POWER STEERING ASSIST AND NO GAS PEDAL. MANAGED TO WRESTLE THE CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. MANAGED TO START VEHICLE AGAIN AFTER 5 - 10 MINUTES, BUT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS TIME. *TR
