Safety restraint issue
SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2011-2017 Honda Odyssey vehicles. The second row outboard seats can slide sideways to one of two positions. If a seat is placed between either of the two positions when attaching the seat to the vehicle floor, the seat will not latch properly to the seat striker, allowing the seat to tip forward unexpectedly during braking.
Consequence
If the seat tips forward during braking, it can increase the risk of injury.
Full campaign recordRemedy
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will install a bracket to the second row outboard floor strikers, free of charge. The recall began April 2, 2018. Owners may contact American Honda Customer Support & Campaign Center at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is S0G.

What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2017 Honda Odyssey 5 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 5-star median for the 4 comparable 2017 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 12.7% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 22 MPG combined, the 2017 Honda Odyssey ranks 1st of 4 minivan -s (2WD) EPA rated for 2017 — 1 MPG better than the 21 MPG median for that group.
That places it squarely mid-pack for its class. Fuel cost is close enough to its rivals that other running costs will probably matter more.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,800, $150 less than the $2,950 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $14,000, a $750 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 404 grams per mile — about 6.1 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
