Honda recalls nearly 1.2M U.S. vehicles due to possible rear camera image issues

DETROIT –

Honda is recalling practically 1.2 million automobiles within the U.S. as a result of the rear view digicam picture might not seem on the dashboard display screen.

The recall covers sure Odyssey minivans from 2018 to 2023, in addition to Pilot SUVs from 2019 to 2022 and Passport SUVs from 2019 to 2023.

Honda says in paperwork posted Friday by U.S. security regulators that the issue was traced to a defective coaxial cable connector. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says if the rear view digicam picture would not show, it may minimize driver visibility and improve the chance of a crash.

The firm says it obtained practically 274,000 guarantee claims from May of 2017 by means of June 8. It has no reviews of any accidents.

Dealers will change a cable harness and set up a straightening cowl without charge to homeowners, who shall be notified by letter beginning July 24.
