本田汽车将在美国市场上召回两批2011到2016年款奥德赛(Odyssey)MPV车型，原因是其第二排座椅存在故障，总计召回数量为641600辆。其中最大的一批涉及召回的车辆包括634000辆2011-2016款车型。这些车辆第二排座椅的机械结构存在问题，无法正常锁定，会导致座椅倾斜和滑动。本田计划为车辆安装额外的侧弹簧和支架从而可以增加机械结构扭矩，确保座椅能锁定在正确位置，从而修复上述问题。用于解决这个问题需要对所需部件进行征集，因此要等到2017年春季才会对故障车辆进行修理。公司将在明年2月中旬以前向客户发出通知信，而在零部件到达后再向客户发出第二个通知信。本田还将召回一批第二排座椅存在问题的7600辆2016款奥德赛。这次召回涉及的车辆在座椅滑动后无法正常锁定，这将增加坐在座椅上乘客受伤的风险。本田经销商将负责修复上述问题。这次召回车辆的车主将于明年1月收到通知。

 

Honda recalls 642K Odyssey minivans for unsecured second row seats

Honda will recall recent examples of the Odyssey minivan for two campaigns that will both address problems with the second-row seat latches. In total, the repairs will cover 641,600 vehicles in the United States.

 

The larger recall will cover 634,000 examples of the 2011-2016 Odyssey. The mechanism that allows second-row outboard seats to tilt and slide may not lock properly. Honda plans to install additional slide springs and brackets to repair the problem because the parts increase torque on the mechanism and ensures they lock into place.

Because of the volume of parts that Honda needs to collect for this recall, the repairs don’t begin until spring 2017. The company is sending an initial recall letter to owners in February, and later a second mailing tells them when the components are available.

 

Honda will also recall the second-row center seat latch on 7,600 units of the 2016 Odyssey. In this campaign, the mechanism that lets the chair slide might not lock properly after someone releases the adjustment handle. This could increase the risk of harm for the person sitting there.

 

Honda dealers will inspect the mechanism and will adjust it as necessary. Affected customers will receive notifications in the mail in late January.
