Honda is recalling about 325,000 Odyssey minivans from the 2018–2020 model years due to potential rearview camera problems. According to recall documents cited by multiple outlets, water may enter the rearview camera assembly. This water intrusion can interfere with the camera’s ability to provide an image when the vehicle is in reverse, potentially causing the backup camera display to fail or malfunction. One report notes that a previous recall related to the same general area had already been issued, but the new recall indicates that water intrusion can still occur in certain vehicles despite earlier efforts.
Under the recall, dealers replace the rearview camera at no cost to owners. The outlets agree that the issue centers on the rearview camera system and that the affected vehicles are limited to the 2018–2020 Odyssey models. The reports also characterize the defect as occurring when water gets into the camera, which can eventually disrupt the camera’s operation.
