What's wrong, in plain English

On certain Odyssey vehicles, the second-row outboard seats may have a deformed locking mechanism, which can keep the seat rails from locking into place. A seat that is not locked can move unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact a Honda dealer to have the second-row seat frames replaced; you can also call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
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 21V432000.
