ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Honda Odyssey?
What separates the 2024 Honda Odyssey from its immediate predecessor is a meaningful five-point jump in the NHTSA Safety Index, moving from 86/100 in the Strong band for 2023 to 91/100 in the Exceptional band for 2024. That gain is traceable in the component scores: crash protection reached 66 out of 70, avoidance technology scored a perfect 10 out of 10, and the defect record component contributed 15.25 out of 20. The defect record score is the only component that holds the Index below a theoretical ceiling, and the three active recall campaigns explain why. The steering gear box recall is the most directly safety-relevant to this specific vehicle, covering 2023-2024 Odyssey units. The wheelchair restraint recall affects only Vantage Mobility conversion units, not standard production vehicles. The air bag occupant classification recall spans a wide Honda and Acura portfolio and should be verified by VIN. The 69 reported complaints, led by alleged Electrical System and Engine issues, are unverified allegations but represent a data point worth tracking as this model year ages into the used market.
NCAP // CRASH TESTHow did the 2024 Honda Odyssey perform in crash tests?
The 2024 Honda Odyssey earns a strong safety profile, evidenced by its five-star overall rating from NHTSA. Both frontal and side protection tests also yielded five-star results. While robust, the Odyssey's rollover resistance is a relative weak point in its crash-test performance. This category received four out of five stars, accompanied by a 14 percent rollover risk and a "No Tip" dynamic test result.
