Honda second row outboard seats have a lever to fold the seatback and slide the seat forward to access the third row seats.
The short version
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) reported a problem with the seats mid/rear assembly. Here is what owners need to know.
The second row outboard seats have a lever to fold the seatback and slide the seat forward to access the third row seats. Due to a manufacturing error, if the walk-in release lever is used to fold a fully reclined left outboard seatback forward, the seatback may stay in the unlocked position (free-folding) or unexpectedly unlock without engaging the walk-in or recliner lever.
An unlocked second row left outboard seatback increases the risk of injury to the seat occupant during a crash.
Honda will notify owners, and dealers will confirm proper operation of the second row left outboard seatback, and install a support bracket to the seat recliner, free of charge.
