American Honda Motor Company is recalling 1,198,280 model year 2018-2023 Odysseys, model year 2019-2022 Pilots and model year 2019-2023 Passports.

ConsumerConnect learnt the company said because of a faulty Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable connector, the rearview camera image might not appear on the display.

Failure of the rearview camera to display an image can reduce the driver’s rear view, increasing the risk of a crash or injury, agency report said.

In regard to what to do in correcting the error, the automobile manufacturer said that dealers would replace the MOST cable harness and install a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector free of charge.

Letters notifying owners of the recall are expected to be mailed July 24, 2023.

Affected vehicle owners may contact Honda Customer Service on (888) 234-2138.

Honda’s numbers for this recall are EEL and ZEM.
