Honda recalls Odyssey minivans for fire hazard

Honda is recalling Odyssey minivans from the 2018 to the current model year because there’s a risk of fire. The recall affects 241,000 of the popular minivans.

The danger is in a potentially faulty power outlet in the third row. Damaged wiring could cause a short circuit that might lead to a fire.

Honda said it’s aware of three fires caused by this, but has not heard of any injuries.

The recall is expected to begin in mid-March.

Odyssey owners can check with their local Honda dealer. All repairs will be free of charge.
