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.

THE HEADREST FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT IS MY PROBLEM. I HAVE TO LEAN MY HEAD FORWARD TO KEEP THE HEADREST FROM PUSHING MY HEAD FORWARD. THIS IS CAUSING ME TO HAVE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I TRIED LEANING THE DRIVER'S SEAT BACK BUT THEN I HAD NO SUPPORT FOR MY BACK AND THAT CAUSED ME TO HAVE NECK AND SHOULDER PAIN. I NEED A HEADREST THAT I CAN ADJUST TO GO BACK FURTHER. ALSO, THE HEADRESTS ON THE 3RD ROW GO UP SO HIGH THAT VISIBILITY OUT OF THE BACK WINDOW IS OBSCURED AND I FOUND THAT I COULD ONLY USE MY SIDE VIEW MIRRORS.

WE WERE DRIVING DOWN A MAIN ROAD SPEED APPROX 45MPH, IT WAS 90-94 DEGREES OUT SO AC WAS ON AND IT WAS A SEVERE RAIN STORM. WE HAD JUST LEFT THE HIGHWAY AND WERE ON A MAIN ROAD HIGHLY TRAVELED. WE NOTICED IT WAS WARM IN THE CAR AND THE AC WAS BLOWING HOT. ALL THE SUDDEN IT WAS FOGGING THE WINDOWS ON THE INSIDE. WE HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM BECAUSE WE COULD NOT SEE AND WITH THE DEFROSTER ON IT WAS FOGGING THE WINDOW WORSE. WE HAD OUR 2 CHILDREN IN THE BACK OF THE VAN WHO WERE SCARED OUT OF THEIR WITS WE WOULD BE REAR ENDED DURING THE STORM. WE MANAGED TO FIND A TOWEL WIPE THE WINDOW AND PULL INTO A TIRE/OIL CHANGE PLACE UP THE ROAD. THEY CHECKED THE CAR AND SAID DUE TO THE RAIN THE AC CONDENSOR STOPPED WORKING AND WE HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE THEY COULD NOT FIX. WE WOULD NEED THE DEALER IN THE MORNING. WHEN WE WOKE IN THE AM THE VAN HAD DRIED AND THE AC WORKED AGAIN WE RETURNED HOME AND TOOK TO OUR LOCAL DEALER WITH AN APPT 07/03/15 WHO ADVISED US SINCE IT WORKS NOW THEIR IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. WE LIVE IN A STATE THAT RAINS DAILY AND ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE RAIN NOW. DEALER STATES IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER LEMON LAW AS IT WAS NOT LIFE THREATENING, LACK OF VISIBILTY TO US IS LIFE THREATENING. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS.

WE EMBARKED ON AN 8806 MILE, 22 DAY ROAD TRIP THROUGH THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST TO THE MIDWEST WITH OUR NEW 2015 HONDA ODYSSEY EX. DRIVING WAS DONE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS ONLY WITH THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER LIGHTS AS HIGH AS THEY COULD BE SET. ALL WINDOWS ARE TINTED. 21 OF THE DAYS WERE BRIGHT AND SUNNY. WE COULD NOT SEE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON BRIGHT DAYS. NEITHER THE SPEEDOMETER OR THE TACHOMETER WERE READABLE. MY WIFE MONITORED OUR SPEED WITH A GARMIN GPS. THIS CLUSTER HAS WHITE NUMERALS AND A PALE GREY BACKGROUND. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW WHICH MAKES OPERATION UNSAFE ON BRIGHT DAYS.
