Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Reverse automatic emergency braking engages hard with no obstacle present, sometimes repeatedly, making it impossible to back out of a driveway or parking spot.
  • Forward collision alert and automatic emergency braking activate suddenly at highway and street speeds with nothing in front of the vehicle, causing violent unwarranted stops.
  • The rearview camera goes blank or shows a red or yellow caution icon, consistent with recall campaign 26V306000 for the rearview camera.
  • The parking brake engages on its own while in reverse and will not release, leaving the vehicle stuck until manually reset or requiring a tow.
  • Owners report lane keep assist activating erratically alongside the phantom braking events.
  • One owner described the vehicle accelerating forward unexpectedly and crashing into a garage, injuring a bystander.

    Back over prevention:software

    Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2024 Acura ZDX and Prologue vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail.

Additionally, the loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will update the vehicle radio control module software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 22, 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
