Honda Canada Pulls Thousands of Minivans Over Backup Camera Glitch

Honda Canada has issued a recall affecting thousands of its popular minivans after discovering a software problem that can cause the rearview camera display to go dark. The issue, which impacts select 2018-2023 Odyssey models, could prevent drivers from seeing what’s behind them while reversing, increasing the risk of a collision.

According to Transport Canada, the glitch occurs when the vehicle’s infotainment system fails to properly boot up, leaving the camera feed blank.

The recall covers approximately 12,000 vehicles across the country. Honda says it will notify affected owners by mail starting in late March, and dealers will update the vehicle’s software free of charge. The fix is expected to take less than an hour. While no accidents or injuries have been reported in Canada linked to this issue, the company is urging owners to take the recall seriously and schedule service promptly.
