Typical collision avoidance system symptoms owners report

  • Owners report the Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) applying brakes suddenly with no vehicle or obstacle nearby, sometimes at highway speed.
  • Some describe the automatic emergency braking triggering falsely near parked cars or vehicles in adjacent lanes, causing rear-end collisions when following traffic could not react in time.
  • Rear-view cameras and proximity sensors reportedly fail to sound warning beeps while backing up, leading to low-speed collisions with other vehicles.
  • Owners state camera and sensor systems stop working entirely within roughly two years of ownership, with dealers asking them to pay for replacement.
  • After passing through a car wash, one owner reported a 'radar obstructed' warning followed by loss of brake system and cruise control functions.
  • One owner reported the same MOST cable/rear-camera detection failure returning after the recall repair, saying Honda would not perform a second fix.

    Back over prevention:display function

    Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport vehicles. Due to a faulty Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable connector, the rearview camera image may not appear on the display. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

    Risk: A rearview camera that does not display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the MOST cable harness and install a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 24, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are EEL, ZEM, and SFC.
