β€œThe SRS ECU deployment threshold margin calibration was too sensitive to underbody impacts, which could cause the side curtain or side airbags to deploy unexpectedly when subjected to strong impacts caused by potholes, speed bumps, or debris on the road, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. As of 2 April 2026, there have been 25 reports of injury and no reports of death related to this issue from 24 January 2017 until today.

Registered owners of all affected Odyssey vans will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer will reprogram or replace the SRS ECU with improved airbag deployment parameters, as necessary.

American Honda said in a release that it is announcing this recall to encourage owners of affected vehicles to take them to an authorized dealer for repair as soon as they receive notification. Owners of these vehicles can also determine if their vehicles require repair by visiting www.recalls.honda.com, or by calling (888) 234-2138.
