Recall Summaries:
Gauge Control Module Software Recall:
2018-2020 Honda Odyssey
2019-2020 Honda Passport
2019-2021 Honda Pilot
Software that controls the speedometer display will be updated, for free, to prevent potential malfunctions, including temporary shutdown of the display. If the speedometer does not display properly, a driver may unknowingly exceed safe speeds, increasing the risk of a crash.
Front Control Box Software Recall:
2019-2020 Honda Odyssey
2019-2020 Honda Passport
2019-2021 Honda Pilot
Software that controls display of the rear view camera image will be updated, for free, to prevent potential malfunctions including delayed display of the rear view and display failure under certain circumstances when the reverse gear is selected. A delayed or absent rear view display may increase the risk of a crash.
Rear View Camera Replacement Recall:
2019-2020 Honda Odyssey
Rear view camera assemblies will be replaced with updated units, for free, to resolve durability issues that may distort the image or prevent display of the rear view when the reverse gear is selected. An absent rear view display may increase the risk of a crash.
Sliding Door Outer Handle Cable Recall:
2018-2020 Honda Odyssey
Updated sliding door outer handle cables will be installed in affected vehicles, for free. Water may enter the outer handles of the sliding doors and drip onto the cables connected to the door latch mechanisms. In freezing temperatures, ice may form on the cable, hindering proper cable movement and potentially preventing the door from latching. An unlatched sliding door could open while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the chance of injury to passengers.
