Honda announced today that it was recalling about 800,000 Odyssey minivans in the United States because of problems with locking adjustable seats into place.

The company said the affected minivans, which include model years 2011 to 2017, have second-row seats that can tip forward if they are not properly latched.

In a statement, Honda said it was trying to educate owners on how to properly latch the seats until it can develop an approved repair.

Honda posted a detailed instruction sheet and planned to add an instructional video.

“If a second row seat is not properly latched after adjusting it side-to-side or reinstalling a removed seat, the seat may tip forward during moderate to heavy braking, increasing the risk of injury to an occupant,” the statement said. “This issue will not occur if a seat is properly latched.”

The company said it had received 46 reports of minor injuries related to the seats. It will begin notifying owners of the recall by mail in late December.
