Defect / Noncompliance Description

*Describe the defect or noncompliance:
The Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) communication coaxial cable was improperly designed and manufactured, resulting in deformed terminals and potentially causing poor, or lost, connections intermittently between the audio display unit and the vehicle cable connector.

*Describe the safety risk:
If the MOST communication is lost for more than 20 seconds, the rearview camera function will fail when the vehicle is in the reverse gear, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

Describe the cause:
The MOST communication coaxial cable was improperly designed and manufactured.

Identify the Remedy

Describe the defect / noncompliance remedy program, including the manufacturer’s plan for reimbursement:
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 install an improved MOST cable harness between the existing display audio and vehicle terminal connections and a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector to properly connect the audio display unit.

Owners who have paid to have these repairs completed at their own expense will be eligible for
Reimbursement.

Describe what distinguishes the remedy component from the recalled component:
Recalled components contain improperly designed and manufactured MOST coaxial cable terminals.

Identify and describe how and when the recall condition was corrected in production:
The MOST coaxial cable terminal has been improved by a redesigned part from a new component part supplier.

Identify the Recall Schedule

Describe the recall schedule for notifications:
Dealer notification is scheduled to begin and end on or about 6/16/2023. Owner notification is scheduled to begin in August 2023.
