What is wrong
Vehicle description: minivan. The sliding doors may not latch properly.
The risk
An improperly latched door could open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in motion. Under certain circumstances, a door could open completely. An unrestrained rear seat passenger could fall out of an open door of a moving vehicle and be seriously injured or killed.
The fix
Dealers will replace the door latch assembly on all odyssey minvans built from december 3, 1999 through december 16, 1999. Also included in this recall are approximately 1,612 odyssey minivans that had the latches replaced under recall 99v-158 or under warranty, that may need to have the latches replaced again.

Latches with the suspect date code will be replaced.
