Honda said it’s recalling approximately 800,000 2011-2017 Odyssey minivans in the U.S. because the second-row outboard seats may tip forward if they’re not properly latched.
If a second-row seat isn’t latched correctly after someone adjusts it side-to-side or reinstalls a removed seat, the seat may tip forward during moderate to heavy braking. The company has received 46 reports of minor injuries related to the issue, Honda said in a released statement.

“Honda is currently investigating the appropriate repairs to help ensure proper latching and will notify owners when that free repair is available,” the company said.
In the meantime, Honda has created a detailed instruction sheet and will soon post a video that details proper operation of the second-row seats.
Recall notifications will be mailed beginning in late December. To verify whether a particular vehicle is included in this recall, click here and search by VIN.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
