Causes of Rearview Camera Issues
The primary symptom of this issue is that the rearview camera may display a distorted or completely blank image.
This significantly increases the risk of an accident because the driver loses critical visibility when reversing.
The cause of this defect is an improperly sealed camera housing.
Improper adhesive allows moisture to penetrate the camera assembly, which then causes corrosion of internal components.
The root of this manufacturing issue is due to improper pretreatment of the camera housing bonding surface during the production process.
Specifically, improper plasma irradiation of the bonding surface by the supplier disrupts a portion of the bonding surface through chemical changes, thereby reducing the adhesive strength.
American Honda Motor began investigating this issue in May 2024 after receiving warranty claims in the US market.
Honda worked with General Motors through May 2026 and identified a total of 2,411 warranty claims related to this issue.
Solution and Owner Notification
To address this issue, owners of affected vehicles will receive a free rearview camera replacement at a Honda dealership.
This is part of Honda's commitment to ensuring the safety of its customers.
Official notification letters to owners of affected vehicles will begin mailing on July 6, 2026.
Honda has corrected this issue in production since June 9, 2025, meaning vehicles manufactured after that date should not experience the same defect.
Owners can verify whether their vehicles are affected by using the VIN lookup tool on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website or by contacting Honda customer service at 888-234-2138.
