1.3 million Honda vehicles are being recalled because of issues with the rear image display failing to function, Reuters reports.
The recall affects certain 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport models, and includes 1.2 million in the United States, 88,000 in Canada, and 16,000 in Mexico, according to Honda.
The issue is caused by a defective communication coaxial cable connector, which can prevent the rearview camera display from appearing to the driver.
While Honda extended the warranty for vehicles experiencing this problem a couple of years ago, between 2017 and now a total of 273,870 warranty claims related to the issue have been submitted to Honda. No injuries or deaths related to the issue have been reported.
To remedy the problem, dealers will install a new cable harness, located between the display audio and vehicle terminal connections. A straightening cover will also be put in place to protect the vehicle cable connector and ensure a stable connection to the audio display.
