American Honda Motor Co. has announced it is recalling over 20,000 2014 Honda Odyssey minivans over potential airbag issues, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The automaker decided to recall its popular Odyssey minivan because the side curtain airbag on the passenger's side of the vehicle may not deploy correctly, increasing the chance of an injury if a crash were to occur.
Approximately 24,889 vehicles are affected by the recall, according to the NHTSA.
"The shorting terminal, an electrical connector used to prevent airbag deployment before being installed into a vehicle, may have been damaged during assembly of the passenger side-curtain airbag," said NHTSA in its summary of the issue.
No crashes or injuries have been reported related to the recall, the automaker said this week in a statement on its website.
Honda confirmed that all of the affected minivans were manufactured from October 2, 2013 through December 16, 2013, according to the NHTSA.
Honda dealers are being instructed to replace the damaged shorting pin with a new shorting coupler.
"If the shorting terminal is damaged, the passenger side-curtain airbag may fail to deploy, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury in a crash," said the NHTSA.
All repairs will be completed free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin no later than May 16.
