Known issues on the 2016 Odyssey. Six recalls touch this model year. Three involve the second-row outboard seats: a manufacturing error that can leave the walk-in release lever free-folding or unexpectedly unlocking, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash; a sliding seat that can fail to latch fully to the seat striker and tip forward under braking, increasing the risk of injury; and a release lever that can stay unlocked and let the seat move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash. A fourth recall covers the second-row center seat, whose horizontal adjuster bar can stick in the unlocked position and let the seat slide unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant in the event of a crash. On the fuel side, insufficiently welded fuel tanks can develop leaks that ignite into a fire near an ignition source, and a separate campaign covers an in-tank fuel pump that can fail and stall the engine while driving, increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 268 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From a second-row seat latch inspection to fuel pump or fuel tank work, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2016 Odyssey.
