What Happened
The outer door handle cables in your Odyssey's sliding doors are a crucial part that helps the doors latch securely. In 2018-2020 models, water can enter these cables and cause them to freeze in cold weather.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cables freeze, your sliding doors might not latch properly, and they could open while you're driving or walking. This could lead to someone getting injured, especially if a child is in the path of the door.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty cables with new ones, and this repair is completely free. You should schedule the repair as soon as possible to ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones.
