Official summary

Servicenews article - Because of the higher center console that comes in the 2018 Odyssey, we needed to change the driver?s seat armrest ergonomics to reduce contact between the armrest and the center console with the driver?s seat lowered as far as it will go. As a result, some customers may find the driver?s seat armrest isn?t as comfortable as they would like in its fully lowered position.

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.
