Honda Announces Recall Of Nearly 60K Vehicles Over Possible Safety Risk

With so many electronics and computers working together behind the dashboards of modern vehicles, all it takes is one system going haywire to cause a world of trouble.

In the latest apparent case of such a deficiency, Honda is recalling tens of thousands of vehicles across two distinct model lines due to concerns about camera malfunctions.

Since cameras are such an important feature in today’s automobiles, the recall is being treated as serious, per The Hill:

The manufacturer initiated the recall to fix an issue with the rearview camera that can leave drivers with a “distorted or blank” image while backing up, increasing their risk of an accident or injury.

The carmaker said it traced the cause to an adhesive that can separate from the rearview camera case.

The recall potentially affects 44,199 Honda Prologues that were manufactured between Oct. 10, 2023 and Sept 03, 2025, as well as 15,688 Acura ZDXs manufactured between Dec. 19, 2023 and Jan. 21, 2025.

News of the recall soon began to spread via social media:

The only cameras I have in my SUV are the side mirrors and rear mirror on the windshield, the original we were taught in drivers education

this is what happens when you solve a problem that doesn't exist.

nothing was wrong with the regular rearview mirror.

While some critics put the blame squarely on Honda, Motor Trend noted that the impacted models share parts heavily with General Motors:

The Prologue and ZDX are packed with General Motors parts and ride on the same platform as the Blazer EV and Lyriq. GM was involved in the investigation, but so far only Honda has issued a recall for the Sharp-supplied backup camera. That naturally raises the question of whether the GM EVs will also be subject to the same recall. We asked the automaker if it plans to follow suit but have yet to hear back before publication. We’ll update this story if that changes. We did a cursory check of Blazer EV forums and social media and found that backup camera complaints have been popping up.

No matter what GM decides, there is at least a fix. Sharp updated the housing’s surface treatment and improved the bonding process, and the revised cameras have been in production since June 2025. So dealers should already have the remedy by the time you read this, and owner notification letters are scheduled to go out by July 6. As always, recall repairs are free. And while Prologue and ZDX camera replacements should have been covered under warranty even before this recall, anyone who already paid out of pocket should contact Honda for reimbursement, as required by law.

But it’s not the first time the Japanese automaker has been hit with a camera-related recall, as this 2023 report explained:
