Honda recalls 440,000 Odyssey vehicles over airbag software issue.

The article focuses on American Honda’s voluntary recall of approximately 440,000 Honda Odyssey vehicles from model years 2018 to 2022 in the US to update software related to the supplemental restraint system electronic control unit (SRS ECU). The recall addresses overly sensitive airbag deployment thresholds that could cause side curtain or side airbags to deploy unintentionally when driving over potholes or road debris, potentially increasing crash or injury risk. As of April 2, 2026, there have been 25 injury reports but no fatalities linked to this issue. Affected vehicle owners will be notified to visit authorized dealers for software updates or ECU replacements. The recall is part of a broader trend of recent automotive safety actions by multiple manufacturers, including Ford, Nissan, and BYD. [Extracted from the article]
