Honda will be asking owners of certain 2014-2016 Odyssey vehicles to return to their dealers because of a problem affecting the second row outboard seats.
These seats have a lever to fold the seat back and slide the seat forward to access the third row seating. According to the defect report, if the walk-in release lever is used to fold a fully reclined left outboard seat back forward, the seat back could stay in the unlocked position or unexpectedly unlock. An unlocked seat back increases the risk of injury to occupants, during a crash.
Dealers will confirm proper operation of the seat back and install a support bracket to the seat recliner. If the seat back cannot lock, dealers will replace the seat back frame assembly.
