Honda Recalls Minivans In U.S. For Possible Power Window Problem
DETROIT - Honda Motor Co. is recalling 2,800 of its Odyssey minivans to repair potentially faulty windows.
There is a potential failure with the driver and front-passenger door power windows in the affected 2011 models in which the window may come off the track and become inoperative or drop into the door, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, reported Reuters.
The window may shatter into the passenger cabin, so Honda is replacing those windows, NHTSA said. The recall is expected to begin on or before April 15.
No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the defect, Honda said.
Earlier this month, Honda recalled more than 33,000 2011 Odyssey minivans due to a possible windshield wiper defect.
