Honda is recalling nearly 60,000 vehicles across the United States after discovering a defect that could cause rearview camera systems to display distorted images or stop working altogether, potentially reducing drivers’ visibility when reversing and increasing the risk of an accident.
What is the problem?
The recall affects certain 2024 Acura ZDX and 2024-2025 Honda Prologue vehicles and involves the rearview camera assembly, which may fail because moisture can enter the camera housing and damage internal components. Since rearview cameras are an important safety feature that helps drivers detect people, objects, and other vehicles behind them, a malfunction can significantly increase the likelihood of a collision while reversing.
According to Honda, drivers may experience a blank display, a distorted image, or an intermittent camera feed when shifting into reverse. The issue has been linked to improperly sealed camera units that may allow water intrusion and corrosion over time. Although the automaker has not reported any crashes or injuries related to the defect, the company has determined that a formal recall is necessary to address the potential safety risk.
What owners should do
To remedy the issue, Honda dealers will replace the defective rearview cameras free of charge. The manufacturer is sending notifications to affected owners and will provide instructions on when repairs can be scheduled, but drivers can also check whether their vehicle is included in the recall by searching their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall database.
Any owners who receive a recall notice or notice problems with their rearview camera should arrange repairs as soon as possible and avoid ignoring any warning signs that the camera system may not be functioning correctly.
How Honda owners can take back control
Vehicle recalls can be frustrating, particularly when defects involve essential safety systems. Keeping records of repair visits, recall notices, and any issues experienced with the vehicle can help owners stay informed and protect their rights.
