Honda recalls 1.3 million vehicles globally due to rear camera issue: Report

Honda Motor is carrying out a global recall of 1.3 million vehicles globally, on the back of a potential issue with the rear camera, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) stated. The recall covers 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport vehicles, Reuters reported. Due to a faulty communication coaxial cable connector, the rearview camera image may not appear on the display, the newswire reported.

The recall includes 1.2 million U.S. vehicles, 88,000 in Canada and 16,000 in Mexico, Honda said.

Honda had earlier extended the warranty to vehicles affected by the issue two years ago. The company said in a filing with NHTSA that it had got 273,870 warranty claims related to the issue between May 2017 and June this year, and no reports of injuries or deaths related to the recall issue.

Dealers will install an improved cable harness between the existing display audio and vehicle terminal connections and a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector to properly connect the audio display unit.
