Honda Recalls Over 300,000 Minivans Over Rearview Camera Glitch

Honda is calling back more than 300,000 of its popular minivans after discovering a flaw that could leave drivers without a working rearview camera. The recall affects certain Odyssey models from 2018 through 2023, where a software issue may prevent the camera image from displaying when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.

That’s a serious safety concern, especially for parents backing out of driveways or parking lots.

According to documents filed with federal regulators, the problem stems from a communication error between the audio control module and the display screen. Honda says it has received more than 1,000 warranty claims related to the issue but no reports of crashes or injuries. Owners will be notified starting in January, and dealers will update the software free of charge.

If you drive an Odyssey from that era, keep an eye on your mailbox or check Honda’s recall website.
