- Approximately 608,000 total vehicles are affected in the United States
- Free recall repairs, varying by specific vehicle, include two software updates, replacement of rear view cameras and replacement of sliding door outer handle cables
- No reported crashes or injuries related to these actions
TORRANCE, Calif. – Aug. 4, 2020 – American Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 608,000 model-year 2018-2020 Honda
Odyssey, 2019-2020 Passport and 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles in the United States to complete one or more of four recall repairs, for free. There have been no reports of crashes or injuries related to these actions.
Honda is announcing these recalls to encourage each owner of an affected vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification from Honda
. Mailed notification to owners will begin in late-September 2020. Owners of these models can also determine if their specific vehicles are included in the recall by visiting www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (888) 234-2138.
Recall Summaries:
Gauge Control Module Software Recall:
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:
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:
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.

Re: NHTSA Recall No. 20V-438
Part 573, Amended Noncompliance Information Report
2019-2020 Honda Odyssey
Rearview Camera
Dear Mr. Giuseppe:
In accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act and 49 CFR Part 573 Defect and Noncompliance and Responsibility Reports, Honda is submitting the enclosed amended Noncompliance Information Report regarding NHTSA recall number 20V-438 originally submitted on July 28, 2020. The amendment adds two MY2020 Honda
Odyssey vehicles to the affected vehicle population. The following reporting categories are being amended:
1. Identification of potentially affected vehicles; and
2. Total number of potentially affected vehicles.
If you have any questions about this report, please feel free to contact me.

Identification of potentially affected vehicles:
Initial Report
Amended Report (updates in bold)
Description of the basis for the determination of the recall population:
The recall population was determined based on manufacturing records. The manufacturing range reflects all possible vehicles that could potentially experience the problem.
Description of how the vehicles being recalled differ from similar vehicles not included in the recall:
2018MY Honda Odyssey vehicles equipped with the affected component are not included in the recall as these vehicles were not subject to the phase-in period requirements nor final requirements of FMVSS No. 111; Rear Visibility. Honda
did not certify these vehicles for phase-in compliance, nor were they built on or after the date of May 1, 2018, when all FMVSS No. 111 requirements applied to all vehicles. Therefore, Honda
will conduct a Product Update Campaign in September 2020 to notify owners of 2018MY Odyssey vehicles of the same free remedy as provided under this recall. Additionally, similar vehicles built on or after July 20, 2020 are not included in the recall, as these vehicles were installed with redesigned rearview cameras compliant with the requirements of FMVSS No. 111 as of that date. Similar vehicles built before July 20, 2020 that were within American Honda
’s control were remedied prior to dealer delivery.
8/28/2020 Amendment
Two MY2020 Honda Odyssey vehicles with a manufacture date of July 21, 2020 are being added to the recall. Although these vehicles completed final assembly after the date the countermeasure was applied to mass production, they were initially assembled with the recalled component prior to being taken off-line for unrelated repairs. Once repaired, vehicle assembly completed on July 21, 2020, and the vehicles were distributed into commerce. Review of manufacturing records later identified the recalled component that necessitated inclusion into the recall.

573.6(c)(5)
Noncompliance description:
The rearview camera may not comply with the requirements of FMVSS No. 111 in certain
scenarios.
1) Moisture entering through the rearview camera mounting holes can promote fracturing in the
housing originally formed during the production process. Once the housing wall separates from
the accelerated fracturing, moisture may enter the camera lens and distort the rearview image,
or corrode the camera circuit board, resulting in an inoperative rearview camera.
2) The rearview camera has multiple viewing modes (wide, normal, and top-down view). If the
view mode is set to top-down view, or switched from top-down view to another mode, and the
rearview camera is activated in high ambient light environments, the resulting shutter speed that
determines image brightness exceeds operating parameters, preventing the image from
displaying.
A distorted or inoperative rearview camera display can reduce the driver’s view of what is
behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
573.6(c)(7)
Determination of noncompliance:
October 2018
Honda launched an investigation into rearview camera failure.
April 2019 – July 2019
In consultation with the rearview camera supplier, the investigation confirmed moisture intrusion
through micro fractures in the rearview camera’s mounting holes resulted in failure. Root cause
analysis continues.
August 2019
Cross-company development teams shared information regarding a programming error in the
rearview camera circuit, which could prevent the image from displaying when operated under
specific conditions (top-view mode in high ambient light environments).
May 2020
The investigation into the moisture intrusion phenomenon confirmed that improper design
specification was the root cause.
July 21, 2020
Honda determined that FMVSS noncompliance existed and decided to conduct a
noncompliance recall.
573.6(c)(8)(i)
Program for remedying the noncompliance:
Registered owners of all affected vehicles will be contacted by mail and asked to take their
vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer will replace the rearview camera with a
redesigned camera for free. Because the new vehicle limited warranty on all affected vehicles
would have provided a free repair for the problem addressed by this recall, without any payment
by the owner, reimbursement for pre-notification repairs will not be offered.
573.6(c)(8)(ii)
The estimated date to start notification to dealers: July 29, 2020
The estimated date to start notifications to owners: September 23, 2020
573.6(c)(10)
Representative copies of all notices, bulletins and other communications:
A copy of the dealer service bulletin, the final owner notification letter and other dealer
communication will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.
A draft of the owner notification letter will be submitted to your office as soon as possible.

Why my vehicle is under recall: 1) Water may enter the rearview camera lens, resulting in a distorted rearview image or rearview
camera failure.
2) If the rearview camera view mode is switched in certain conditions, the rearview image may not
display.
A rearview image that is distorted or does not display can reduce the driver’s view of objects behind
the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
What Honda will do: Your Honda
dealer will replace the rearview camera with a redesigned camera for FREE. Honda
estimates that the replacement will take approximately 45 minutes to complete. However, your
dealer can provide you with a better estimate of the overall time for this service visit, as it may be
necessary to make your vehicle available for a longer period of time.
What we need you to do:
• Check recall information for your vehicle by accessing the Honda Recall Lookup tool at
www.recalls.honda.com and entering your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

opening or closing completely. An incompletely latched sliding
door may open during vehicle operation, increasing the risk of
injury to vehicle occupants.
Repair: Replace the le and right sliding door exterior door handle cables
and bushing joints.
Parts: Parts will be available for normal ordering
Tools: There are no special tools needed for this repair.
20-047, Noncompliance Recall: Gauge Control Module Software Update
Affected Population: Certain 2018-2020 Odyssey, 2019-2020 Passport, and 2019-2021 Pilot

On September 23rd, 2020 American Honda announced that part number 39530-THR-A23 related to Service
Bulletins 20-050 “Noncompliance Recall: 2019 – 20 Odyssey Rearview Camera” and 20-060 “Product
Update: 2018 Odyssey Rearview Camera” was available via open ordering. Because of the limited
supply of parts, dealers were asked to order only the parts that were immediately needed, allowing for
the most amount of repairs possible.
Since parts became available for ordering some dealers have ordered many more parts than were
immediately needed that caused shortage of parts for other dealers and ultimately resulted in delayed
customer repairs.
Effective immediately, part number 39530-THR-A23 is no longer available for open order and any
pending back orders to your dealership have been canceled. To ensure equitable distribution to all
dealers, American Honda will reestablish automatic allocations. These allocations will be based on
dealer need, taking into account: dealer eResponsibility report, number of repairs completed, as well
as cameras in dealer inventory. Based on this criteria, dealers may or may not receive parts with each
allocation.
American Honda has been continuously working with our supplier to increase capacity and improve
part availability for customer repairs. However, based on current conditions, we expect limited part
availability for some time and the auto allocations will continue until further notice. Another
announcement will be made when dealer ordering will resume.
Thank you for your continued support and patience as we all work diligently to take care of our
customers.
If you have any questions, please contact your DPSM.
Thank you,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc.
