What owners report

  • Rearview and infotainment camera images appear too dark or distorted, especially at night, making it hard to see obstacles while backing up.
  • Owners describe a clicking, knocking or ratcheting noise from the front axle when turning, particularly at low speeds or full lock, that some say worsens over time.
  • Some drivers report the brake pedal failing to stop the vehicle promptly at low speed in parking lots, leading to collisions.
  • One owner described an unexpected acceleration event while parking at low speed that resulted in a multi-vehicle collision.
  • Infotainment and driver display screens have gone completely black or turned off unexpectedly, sometimes requiring a restart to recover.
  • Driver-assist camera systems reportedly disengage on their own, causing unexpected braking from the one-pedal driving feature.

    Back over prevention: sensing system: camera

    American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Honda Prologue and 2024 Acura ZDX vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.

    Risk: A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 7, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are DO5 and RO6. The information in your report suggests that Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) may have been aware of this issue more than five business days before filing a report with NHTSA. Please be reminded that under Federal law, this agency is to be notified of all safety defect and/or noncompliance decisions within five business days. 49 CFR 573.6 Significant civil penalties can be assessed for this violation.
