Known issues for this generation

Certain 2018-2020 Odysseys were covered by a nationwide safety recall (NHTSA campaign 20V-437, Honda number A88) for the power sliding doors: water can enter the outer door handle cable assemblies through a poor seal, and in freezing temperatures that trapped water can add friction and keep the latch from closing completely, so a sliding door could open while the vehicle is moving. Dealers replace both sliding door outer handle cables and bushing joints at no cost.
