The problem
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain model year 2011-2016 Odyssey vehicles manufactured August 17, 2010, to October 1, 2015.

The risk
An unlocked second row outboard seat increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
The fix
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install an additional bracket and spring to both second row outboard seats, free of charge. Interim letter has been mailed, and a second notification will be sent. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is KD5.
