- Honda Odyssey
- 2018, 2020
Why this matters
When a rearview camera image fails to display, it significantly reduces the driver's ability to see behind the vehicle. This impaired rear visibility can increase the risk of a crash, posing a safety hazard to occupants and pedestrians.
What's being recalled
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling approximately 325,588 units of certain 2018-2020 Odyssey vehicles. The defect involves the rearview camera system, specifically the camera unit itself, where water intrusion can lead to a failure of the camera image. This condition means the vehicles do not comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
This recall, identified as HOX, expands upon a previous recall, NHTSA number 20V438, addressing the same underlying issue.
