What's wrong, in plain English

The power sliding doors on the sides of these minivans are held shut by a latch that grips a catch on the door frame. On the vehicles being recalled, that latch can stick and may fail to grip the catch the way it should, so the door is not properly latched closed. Honda is replacing the rear latch assembly on both the left and right power sliding doors.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Honda dealer to have both rear sliding door latch assemblies replaced; Honda customer service is 1-888-234-2138 (Honda's recall numbers are Z33 and O36).
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 18V795000.
