## What is wrong

Honda \(America Honda Motor Co.\) is recalling certain 2018\-2020 Odyssey vehicles.  Water may enter the outer door handle cables for the sliding doors.  If this occurs, the outer door handle cables may freeze in cold temperatures, preventing the front and rear sliding door latches from securely latching.


## What can happen

A power sliding door that fails to latch may open while moving, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Honda will notify owners, and dealers will replace the power sliding door outer handle cables, free of charge.  The recall began September 23, 2020.  Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1\-888\-234\-2138.  Honda's number for this recall is A88.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
