Official summary
On some 2015 Odyssey vehicles, the trailer hitch weight was not properly calculated into the gross axle weight rating (GAWR) on the vehicle certification label. This can create a situation where the vehicle exceeds the indicated gross axle weight rating. Additionally, the Owner's Guide incorrectly states the towing capacity of the vehicle is 1,500 lbs. The Owner's Guide should show a table listing the towing capacity based on the number of passengers in the vehicle.
Vehicles covered
What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
