NHTSA closes defect petition regarding airbag deployments in Honda Odyssey vehicles
According to CNA Business, on Sept 29 the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said it had closed a defect petition covering 806,963 Honda Odyssey vehicles in the United States from 2011 to 2017 due to insufficient evidence of a defect trend; the agency found no clear pattern of inadvertent airbag deployments or crashes. The petition alleged possible unintended deployments and inaccurate diagnostic information, but the review did not identify a link to a defect. The NHTSA also noted there were no crashes or severe injuries reported as a result of the alleged deployments.
