Honda recalls 272,000 Odyssey vehicles over electrical fire risk

Honda Odyssey’s have been known to have transmission issues and infotainment issues. Now there is a risk of electrical fire to add to the pot.

Honda North America is recalling 241,000 Odyssey vehicles in the U.S. over a wiring problem that could cause an electrical short circuit.

The recall includes Honda Odyssey EX-L, Touring and Elite minivans from the 2018-2020 model years.

The wire harness for the third-row seat accessory power outlet can get pinched between the unibody and rear trim panel, NHTSA documents said. Damage to wires could cause an electrical short, overheat the wire harness and increase the risk of a fire. Honda will inspect, reroute and wrap insulating tape on the wire harness or replace the harness if it is damaged,
