  • Infotainment screen and rear-view camera go dark intermittently at highway speeds, showing 'Network Communication Lost' or 'Most Net Off' messages along with crackling speaker sounds.
  • Front Camera Fault warnings disable Collision Mitigation Braking, Lane Keeping Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control, and Road Departure Mitigation simultaneously.
  • Rear-view camera displays a distorted rainbow-colored image when the vehicle is shifted into reverse.

    Back over prevention:display function

    Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2023 Odyssey, 2019-2022 Pilot, and 2019-2023 Passport vehicles.

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.
