Seats: mid/rear assemblyReported March 13, 2018 · 254,568 vehicles affected
What is wrong
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.
Risk
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Remedy
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.

Recently while driving with my two sons in the outward position in the middle row, a strange clicking came from the driver side middle seat. My 5 y/o son said "my seat is moving". The back of the seat was no longer locked into position and was moving freely back and fourth with minimal effort. We were doing normal stop and go, rush hour city driving with no hard stops and no sudden brakes. I contacted the dealer who said there was a recall however the parts were not available yet.

The driver's side middle row seat's seat back of our 2015 honda odyssey will not lock into place. No one can sit in that seat because the seat back either reclines back or folds forward. When unoccupied and the car is in motion, it will adjust on its own at times (you hear the clicking/grinding). Upon discovering this issue in late december 2017, we immediately stopped using the seat (despite the tremendous inconvenience this caused to transporting our family of 6) and contacted honda corporate (case number 06564580) and were advised that the seat back issue was not part of the two other recalls involving the odyssey's middle row seats and to take our vehicle to the dealer. We removed the seat from the vehicle until we were able to get it inspected given our concern for middle and third row passenger safety. On january 15, 2018, the dealer inspected the seat and found that the seat back adjustment mechanism was broken. When I asked how this happened, the service rep could not identify the cause definitively, but he speculated perhaps someone forced it to recline or "someone had a bad day at the factory." I find the former cause suspect. Regardless, I question why a seat back in a motor vehicle would not be designed to withstand forces associated with normal passenger use given the potential for significant forces that could occur in the unfortunate event of a high speed motor vehicle collison. Ultimately, I was advised by the dealer that I would need a new seat back frame - 81726-tk8-a22 -- 530.00 - to render the existing seat functional again. See attached invoice and photos.

Re: honda recall the federal safety agency recall number: 17v‑725 dear sir/madam, my honda 2015 odyssey is in the recall scope, the honda recall s0g was announced at nov.17, 2017. It is still on incomplete and no more actions about remedy. I did call honda to ask the schedule, they responded me that there is no valid solution and schedule according their internal communication. I am disappointed and worried on this recall since my children seat the 2nd row seats everyday. May I know if there is time constraint to honda to close the recall with actions? I really want to get an explicit solution and schedule from honda to solve the potential risk.

I received a recall notice for my 2015 honey odyssey on january 2, 2018. I first read of the issue in this notice several months ago. Honda still has no remedy available and the fix is not timely. Honda has been aware of this issue for months and yet had failed to correct the seats from latching improperly. Furthermore, this is the second seat related recall we have had since we leased this vehicle in june 2015.
