Honda Investigates Center Display Issues

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. (AHM) has issued a communication, identified as "Request for Info: 2020-2023 Civic, CR-V, Passport & Pilot Center Display Issues," to its dealerships. This message indicates that Honda is actively seeking to gather information regarding customer complaints related to the center display in certain 2021-2023 Civic, CR-V, Pilot, and Passport vehicles. The primary goal is to thoroughly understand the underlying cause of these display malfunctions before any repair attempts are made.

This data collection effort is crucial for Honda to identify patterns and root causes, which may lead to future service bulletins or recalls. Owners experiencing a Honda Civic center display issue or similar problems in other affected models are encouraged to participate by reporting their vehicle's symptoms to their authorized Honda dealer.

Symptoms Owners May Experience

Owners of the specified Honda models might observe various issues with their vehicle's center display. The communication specifically highlights complaints where the center display is "flickering, flashing, or frozen." These symptoms can manifest in different ways:

  • Flickering: The screen rapidly brightens and dims, or parts of the display appear unstable.
  • Flashing: The screen might intermittently turn on and off, or show brief, erratic visual distortions.
  • Frozen: The display becomes unresponsive, showing a static image or no change despite user input or vehicle operation. For Civics and CR-Vs, a "frozen screen condition" is a specific qualifier for this investigation.

It is important to note that the display must NOT be blank or black for the vehicle to qualify for this information-gathering effort. The issue must also be consistently duplicatable by the dealership technicians to be considered for the program.
