Descriptive Information : The recall population was determined based on supplier and manufacturing records. The production range reflects all possible vehicles that could experience the problem.
Production Dates : NOV 08, 2019 – APR 24, 2024
VIN Range 1 : Begin : NR End : NR Not sequential Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : In low temperature environments where road salt is present, the electric wiring of the rear-view camera (RVC) tailgate wire harness may fatigue and break in the presence of freezing water and salt with repeated opening and closing of the tailgate.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : Broken wiring in the tailgate harness may result in a failure to display the
RVC image, which may affect the driver’s view and increase the risk of a back- up collision or injury.
Description of the Cause : The RVC wire harness was manufactured with a protective woven twisted tube, which has high permeability to water and salt. Due to freezing temperatures and the repeated opening and closing of the tailgate, fine cracks can form in the wire insulation of the tailgate harness. As environmental saltwater penetrates the twisted tube and settles onto the cracks of the wire insulation, the cracks are further expanded with the repeated freezing and thawing of saltwater and the opening and closing of the tailgate, ultimately resulting in fatigue and
breakage of the tailgate harness electric wire(s). Part 573 Safety Recall Report 24V-321 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning

Description of Remedy :

asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer will replace the rear-view camera tailgate harness with an improved part. Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense may be eligible for reimbursement, in accord with the recall reimbursement plan on file with NHTSA. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Recalled components contain a wiring harness with electric wiring that is susceptible to fatigue and breakage from repeated opening and closing of the tailgate in low temperature environments with road salt.
To increase toughness/durability against wire breakage notwithstanding use in harsh environmental conditions, Honda decided to change the harness wire supplier to obtain a more flexible (but robust) wire.
Harnesses with more durable wiring were incorporated into vehicle production as of May 3, 2024. Vehicles produced from April 25 through May 2, 2024, were repaired with improved parts prior to shipment.
