BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
- The defect
- Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Odyssey vehicles. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image to fail to display when the vehicle is in reverse. 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 image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed August 24, 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's number for this recall is HOX. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall number 20V438. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will become searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning July 9, 2026.
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 325,588 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% 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 2020, so the oldest vehicles on it were 8 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Honda vehicles have been recalled over the back over prevention 10 times before this, most recently in May 2026 as 26V306000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 3 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 2,360 complaints with NHTSA, 2,210 of them before this campaign was filed. 62 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, 9 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V332000 (air bags), 26V227000 (air bags), 24V064000 (air bags), 23V858000 (fuel system, gasoline).
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 July 1, 2026 as campaign 26V423000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
