The American Honda Motor Company is recalling 325,558 vehicles with possible malfunctioning rear view cameras that may not display images, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported on July 8.
Affected vehicles include certain 2018–2020 Odyssey models, in which water may enter the rearview camera, causing it to fail to display an image when the vehicle is in reverse mode. As a result, the NHTSA indicates the glitch increases the risk of an accident.
Notification letters to owners of affected vehicles are expected to be mailed by Aug. 24, but in the meantime, owners can contact Honda’s customer service at 1-888-234-2138. The recall number is HOX, expanding the previous NHTSA recall number 20V438. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) associated with this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning July 9….
