Honda is recalling about 800,000 of its Odyssey minivans in the United States over faulty parts blamed for 46 minor injuries, the company said, just a month after settling a huge lawsuit on other defects. The fault relates to a latch that connects the back seat, the company said. Honda joined Nissan, Toyota, BMW, Mazda and Subaru in agreeing a deal that also included replacing the defective airbags from now-bankrupt Japanese car parts maker Takata, and compensating car owners. Honda declined to disclose costs linked to the latest recall. Honda shares closed up 0.46 percent at 3,687 yen on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
