 The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website that it appears the gas-filled liftgate struts failed and were unable to support the liftgate when it was in the open position.A liftgate is the hatchback door that allows access to the rear of a minivan.
NHTSA says two of the seven complaints involved injuries caused by people being struck by a closing liftgate.
Safety officials say there have been no similar complaints involving Odyssey minivans made during the 2008 or 2010 model years and equipped with power liftgates.
