A recall issued on April 9 and posted on Transport Canada’s Motor Vehicle Safety Recalls Database noted certain Honda Odyssey vehicle years from 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 were affected.
Software problem causes airbag issue
“ On certain vehicles, under certain conditions, a software problem could cause the side airbag(s) and side curtain airbag(s) to inflate unexpectedly,” said the notice.
The recall noted it’s a safety risk because an “airbag that deploys without a crash could create a risk of injury.”
Honda will notify affected vehicle owners by mail, according to the recall notice.
Customers are also advised to take their vehicles to a dealership to “ reprogram or replace the supplemental restraint system (SRS) electronic control unit (ECU),” as necessary.
Owners can check online to see if the recall applies to their specific vehicle, or they can call Honda at 1-888-946-6329.
The Honda Odyssey is an eight-seat minivan that was introduced in North America in 1994.
Previous Honda recalls

In 2024, 12,000 Honda SUVs were recalled in Canada after it was found that the fuel filler neck can separate from the filler pipe in a crash, causing gasoline to leak and increasing fire risks.
