What this recall means for you
Some vehicles may not show the rearview camera image when the engine is started with a key. This is caused by a design error in the audio display power circuit. Without the camera image, the driver has reduced rear visibility, which increases the risk of a crash, especially when backing up.
The remedy is a free software update to the display audio unit, performed by an authorized dealer. This recall has been superseded by NHTSA recall 24V-384, and vehicles previously repaired under recall 23V-046 will need the new remedy completed under 24V-384. Owners can contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
