Honda Fit and HR-V Recalled Again to Fix Backup Camera
The screen may not display when the vehicle is in Reverse
Honda issued another recall for more than 114,000 vehicles because their backup cameras might not display when the vehicle is in Reverse, repeating a recall issued on the same vehicles last year. Both recalls cover Honda Fit hatchbacks from the 2018 through 2020 model years and Honda HR-V SUVs from the 2019 through 2022 model years.
The Details
Vehicles Recalled
• Honda Fit hatchbacks manufactured between June 12, 2017 and Nov. 30, 2020
• Honda HR-V SUVs manufactured between July 7, 2018 and April 25, 2022
The problem: On vehicles that use an ignition key to start rather than a start/stop button, cranking the engine could cause the vehicle’s battery charge to drop and prevent the audio system from displaying a backup camera image.
The fix: Honda dealerships will perform a software update that should fix the problem, free of charge. Owners who have already paid to have this work performed before the recall was issued may be able to seek reimbursement from Honda.
How to contact the manufacturer: Owners may also contact Honda at 888-234-2138.
NHTSA campaign number: 24V384. Honda’s numbers for this recall are TIQ and DIR. The original recall was 23V046, with Honda’s number being 6DW.
