*Describe the defect or noncompliance:
The power circuit in the display audio unit was improperly designed. When the engine is started with an ignition key, the cranking can cause the battery’s state of charge to drop, which may prevent the display audio from booting up, resulting in the failure to display the rearview camera image.

Additionally, vehicles previously repaired with the initial software update received a version that insufficiently corrected the display audio unit boot up procedure, resulting in the failure to display the rearview camera image.

*Describe the safety risk:
If the display audio unit does not boot up, the rearview camera image will not display, which may affect the driver’s view and increase the risk of a crash or injury.

Describe the cause:
The power circuit in the display audio unit was improperly designed.

Describe the defect / noncompliance remedy program, including the manufacturer’s plan for reimbursement:
Registered owners of all affected vehicles (including previously repaired vehicles) will be contacted by mail and asked to take their vehicle to an authorized Honda dealer. The dealer will reprogram the display audio unit with updated software containing the proper boot up procedure.

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

Describe the recall schedule for notifications:
Dealers have been notified. Owner notification is scheduled to begin in July 2024.
