2013 HONDA ODYSSEY — Complaint #1387546
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about CHILD SEAT filed June 26, 2017
NHTSA complaint #1387546 (ODI reference 11001458) concerns a 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY and was filed on June 26, 2017. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 15, 2017. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as child seat, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA ODYSSEY cohort independently describe similar child seat failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A DIONO SAFETY SEAT, MODEL TYPE: RADIAN RXT MODEL, MODEL NUMBER US16900 AND MANUFACTURED IN 4/01/2013. THE SAFETY SEAT WAS BEING UTILIZED IN A 2013 HONDA ODYSSEY.

THE LATCH THAT HELD THE SEAT IN PLACE ALSO FAILED TO SECURE THE SEAT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO PURCHASE REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT THEN STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD REPLACE THE CROTCH BUCKLE. THE SEAT WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
