Honda issues recall for Odyssey due to window issue

Drivers in the market for a vehicle should be sure to do research on all the latest auto safety news before making a decision, as cars are frequently recalled for a variety of problems.

The latest company to issue a recall on one of its vehicles is Honda. Most issues serious enough to warrant a recall typically involve the engine or critical parts beneath the car, but this recall, targeted at 2,800 units of the 2011 Honda Odyssey minivan, actually affects the windows.

According to the automaker, the issue seems to deal with the front windows on both the driver and passenger sides. Due to a power failure, the window can become inoperable or possibly even become stuck within the door. In some cases, the company says that the window can actually shatter, sending glass into the cabin. Although the company has not heard of any crashes or injuries due to this problem, it was enough to make Honda issue a recall for the affected vehicles.

Drivers considering purchasing a used Honda or any other vehicle may want to head to New Jersey State Auto Auction, which offers a wide range of cars for sale at affordable prices.
