The Japanese carmaker reportedly extended the warranty of the vehicles that have been affected by the issue back in 2021. The car manufacturer has said in a filing with the NHTSA that it has received a total of 273,870 warranty claims related to the rearview camera issue between May 2017 and June 2023. However, the car manufacturing company has claimed that it is unaware of any injuries or deaths related to the issue, for which it has recalled such a large number of vehicles.
The NHTSA's recall document has revealed that the authorised Honda dealers will install an improved cable harness between the existing display audio and vehicle terminal connections and a straightening cover over the vehicle cable connector that will properly connect the audio display unit.
