Here is another recall for today. Honda announced that it is recalling a total of 33,341 units of the Honda Odyssey minivans over windshield wiper defects. Apparently the front windshield wiper blades become frozen to the windshield, causing the rod to separate from the motor

Honda received the first reports of the issue in Canada and the United States in November.

To fix the issue Honda will – you guessed it – replace the front windshield wiper. Recall starts in April.
