Honda Recalls 325,000 Vehicles over Rearview Camera Issue
Honda said 1,648 warranty claims prompted the recall, and dealers will replace the rearview cameras free of charge.
American Honda Motor recalled 325,588 United States-built Odyssey minivans from Honda Manufacturing of Alabama due to a rearview camera defect that can black out the display while backing up, creating crash risk.
Inadequate housing boss hole specifications and misaligned mounting screws during production caused the defect, creating cracks in the camera housing that allow water ingress over time.
Honda has received 1,648 warranty claims related to the defect, and retailers will replace the Magna Electronics Holly-supplied cameras with Sony-produced units at no charge to affected owners.
Federal regulations require every new vehicle in the United States to have a functioning rearview camera, and Honda Customers will be notified by August 24, 2026, by first-class mail.
This action marks the second rearview camera recall Honda has taken in recent months, following a May recall of nearly 60,000 Honda Prologue and Acura ZDX electric SUVs over similar defects.
