BACK OVER PREVENTION:DISPLAY FUNCTION
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport vehicles. Due to a faulty Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable connector, the rearview camera image may not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
- What it can cause
- A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the MOST cable harness and install a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are EEL, ZEM, and SFC.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,209,673 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 99% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2018 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 5 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 5 times before this, most recently in February 2023 as 23V046000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 15 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 5,260 complaints with NHTSA, 1,520 of them before this campaign was filed. 168 of those name the back over prevention, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2017, 5 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 27 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V423000 (back over prevention), 26V365000 (structure), 26V332000 (air bags), 26V227000 (air bags).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) with NHTSA on June 15, 2023 as campaign 23V431000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
