Third Row Center Seat Belt may not Latch/FMVSS 208

Summary
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018 Honda Odyssey vehicles.
The seat belt tongue for the third row center seating position may not be compatible with the latch, preventing the seat belt from latching securely.

Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
Honda’s number for this recall is KF7.
