Honda Motor America announces a recall covering about 325,000 Odyssey minivans from the 2018 through 2020 model years, citing a potential problem with the rearview camera. The issue can cause the backup camera image to fail to display when the vehicle is in reverse. According to the reports, the failure is linked to water intrusion into the camera, which may prevent the camera from emitting an image.
Both outlets describe the same remedy. Honda will have dealers replace the rearview camera at no cost to owners. The recall is intended to address the risk associated with the camera malfunction by ensuring the replacement camera restores normal image output during backing maneuvers.
The recall affects specific model years rather than all Odysseys, and the scope is limited to the vehicles identified as having the affected rearview camera equipment. The announcements emphasize that the corrective action is a camera replacement performed by authorized dealers.
