Honda (HMC) Recalls Odyssey Minivans for Flawed Door Latch
Honda Motor Co., Ltd. HMC has announced that it is recalling 122,000 Odyssey minivans globally, per AP. While driving, the sliding doors of the vehicles may open that makes driving dangerous. The minivans manufactured between 2018 and 2019 are covered in the recall, which majorly consists of vehicles in the United States and Canada.
Per the company, some parts of the vans’ sliding doors can stick, which prevent those to close securely. On receiving the notification by late December about the defect regarding power sliding doors, customers can take their vans to dealers, where the latches are going to be replaced.
This is not the first recall issued by Honda in 2018. In September, the company issued a recall of approximately 1.4 million cars due to defective front passenger-side airbags manufactured by Takata.
