Back over prevention, sensing system, cameraJul 1, 2026
Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Odyssey vehicles. Water may enter into the rearview camera, which can cause the rearview camera image to fail to display when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
A rearview image that does not display reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed August 24, 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138.

I keep getting a brake system light come on. Multiple warnings about the adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, collision mitigation, and auto high beam. I used a code reader and it came back with code U3000-49 Multipurpose Camera Unit/Millimeter Wave Radar Internal Electronic Failure. I have seen multiple reports of this online regarding honda vehicles. Honda quotes repairs anywhere between $1500-$2500 to repair this unit. This should not be an issue on a car that is only 6-7 years old, 5-6 years old at the time the issue started. Given the seriousness of this issue and the amount of reports about this same issue online, a recall of this unit needs to be issued.

Either the ADAS camera or the radar sensor in the van is not functioning properly. The odyssey has know issues like the camera overheating and dies or the radar can be mis aligned by going through a car wash. We do not know which is not working in our van but we are now locked out of basic features on the van. The biggest problem is that cruise control no longer functions. I had previously turned adaptive cruise control (ACC) off and reverted the van to normal cruise control (CC). With the new issue, I al locked out of using CC even though it does not rely on the ADAS camera or the radar sensor.

The vehicle is showing persistent electrical and communication fault codes involving the ECM, ABS, and EPS systems, including P16E2, P16E5, P16E7, P16E8, U0401, and U0416. These codes return immediately, which suggests an active fault rather than a temporary low-voltage condition. The issue appears to involve the battery sensor and/or the related communication network between control modules. Because the faults involve ABS and EPS communication, the concern is that braking-related or steering-assist systems may not be receiving correct data. This creates a potential safety risk because the vehicle may experience intermittent or unreliable control-module communication, which could affect steering assist, braking-related warnings, or overall drivability. The warning lights and diagnostic codes first appeared before the vehicle was put back into normal use and have continued to remain present. The problem has been reproducible because the codes reappear right away after being cleared. No dealer or manufacturer diagnosis has been confirmed yet, so the exact root cause remains unresolved.

Issue: Intermittent infotainment failure – MOST network connection lost I am reporting a recurring electrical failure involving the infotainment system in my 2019 Honda Odyssey. The system intermittently loses all audio and displays a “MOST network connection lost” message. At times, the screen also goes black and reboots. This issue has occurred repeatedly over time, especially after extended driving (e.g., long trips). The audio will stop working completely, and the system may or may not recover after restarting the vehicle. Multiple repair attempts have been made, including replacement rear entertainment system. Despite these repairs, the issue continues to occur. Based on the error message and symptoms, this appears to be a failure within the MOST communication network, potentially involving the amplifier or related components. This creates a significant distraction while driving, as the system becomes nonfunctional and unpredictable. I am unable to access hands free phone capability and navigation features. I am also unable to access the heating and cooling features in the car when the screen is black. This has been happening since about one week after I purchased the vehicle in 2021. I am concerned that this may represent a broader defect affecting multiple vehicles.

On April 13, 2026, I brought my 2019 Honda Odyssey to a Honda dealership in Chicago, IL for a dealer-initiated recall service. The dealer contacted me and asked me to come in. Before the recall service, the vehicle had zero warning lights, zero error codes, and was operating completely normally. Immediately after the recall service was completed, the following warning lights appeared on the dashboard: Brake System warning, Hill Start Assist Problem, VSA (Vehicle Stability Assist) warning, and additional stability/steering system warnings. None of these warnings existed before the service. I returned to the dealership the same day. The service team cleared all error codes. However, within minutes of driving off the lot, all warning lights reappeared. This confirms the issue is persistent and not a one-time post-update self-check. I returned a second time. The service manager stated the warnings were not caused by the recall service and refused to investigate further. The dealer quoted 800 for diagnostic work. I also contacted American Honda by phone and was told they could not intervene. With the Brake System and VSA warnings active, the anti-lock braking system and vehicle stability control may not be functioning properly. This puts me and other drivers at risk, especially in emergency braking situations and on slippery roads. This pattern of multiple safety warnings appearing immediately after recall service on 2019 Honda Odysseys has been reported by other owners. The vehicle and its warning lights are available for inspection upon request.

Since January 15, 2026, our Honda Odyssey has experienced a persistent and unresolved infotainment system failure affecting critical functions, including the rear-view camera. The issue has been reported across three separate service visits (January 15, March 6, and March 26, 2026), during which attempted repairs—including wiring adjustments, battery replacement, and amplifier replacement—failed to resolve the malfunction. Despite escalating to a regional Honda engineer and multiple dealership interventions, the system remains inoperable, and the defect continues to immediately reoccur after each repair attempt. As of April 12, 2026, the vehicle’s infotainment system and rear-view camera are completely non-functional. The issue has persisted for 87 days, resulting in loss of use of key vehicle functions and raising significant safety concerns due to the inoperability of the federally mandated rearview camera (FMVSS 111). The repeated unsuccessful repair attempts and extended delay have led to the conclusion that the vehicle is currently unsafe to operate and has not been restored to a usable condition within a reasonable timeframe.
Electrical system, Apr 8, 2026
My infotainment system has gone completely black, resulting in the loss of several critical functions, including the rearview camera, AC vent direction controls, navigation, and radio. This has made reversing significantly more hazardous, and the lack of proper AC control is especially inconvenient during the summer. The Honda dealer performed a recall-related diagnostic, but it did not resolve the issue. After further inspection, they concluded that the infotainment unit has completely failed. However, they were unable to identify the root cause and recommended a full replacement at a cost of $2,850. I contacted Honda America to request assistance or a goodwill discount, but my request was declined. Due to the high cost, I have not proceeded with the repair. Although my vehicle is not currently on the recall list and has approximately 70,000 miles, there is a known history of infotainment system issues in Honda vehicles. A complete failure of this unit at this stage is unexpected and potentially related with their manufacture, as it is generally intended to last the lifetime of the vehicle. Thank you for your consideration

Both power sliding doors are malfunctioning, with the left side being critical. The dashboard intermittently flashes "Door Open" and "Left Sliding Door Problem" warnings during travel, regardless of speed or road conditions (highway, low-speed, and cornering). A certified Honda technician (Case #16203079) confirmed DTC B2037 is stored for the left sliding door ratchet switch. The diagnostic report explicitly states the rear latch is failed/stuck in the open position, resulting in a half-latched state that "CAN OPEN WHILE DRIVING." The right door also shows intermittent issues with the ratchet switch and pinch sensor. Despite this documented, life-threatening safety defect, American Honda has refused repair assistance. I have video evidence of the warnings flashing while in motion.

The rear portion of the vehicle is leaking water through the seams and cause major issues to the power tailgate control module. Water is infiltrating through either the seams of the trunk or side panels and right onto the module that controls the power tailgate. I’ve replaced the module at 95,000 miles, and now within 4000 miles is having the exact same issue. I can see water leaking inside right onto the electrical components that are behind the drivers side rear panel.

Multiple safety systems on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite have simultaneously failed, including LKAS, ACC, Collision Mitigation Braking System, Auto High-Beam Headlights, and other driver-assist features. The dashboard displays warnings for nearly every safety-related system, and the vehicle disables these features without warning. **Detailed Description of the Problem:** Whenever I start my vehicle, multiple error messages are displayed related to the Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS), Road Departure Mitigation, Auto Headlights, and other safety features. These warnings appear together and persist even after restarting the vehicle. Apparently, this issue is widespread among 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey owners, with many reporting the same cluster of system failures. The problem appears to be related to a malfunction in the vehicle’s electrical system, sensors/ cameras, or control modules. In my case, the failures occur without any external damage, weather event, or driver action that would explain the sudden loss of safety functionality. When these systems fail, the vehicle disables critical safety features such as automatic emergency braking, lane keeping, adaptive cruise control, and automatic headlights. This creates a significant safety risk, especially at highway speeds or in low‑visibility conditions. **Frequency:** The issue occurs whenever the vehicle is started, affecting my driving everyday.

Five days after getting back our car from the Honda dealership where they “fixed” the two recalls all warning lights came on and not turn off. Steering, breaking, accelerating all are difficult. There were no issues prior to the dealership “fixing” the recalls. The car was just at our mechanic for brakes and they check our engine, fluids etc every time. There were no prior issues.

I was commuting home, about 30 minutes into the drive, all of the dashboard and radio went blank for a few seconds. It came back on and the break light, anit-collision, lane departure, lights were all flashing. It did this 2 more times in the over the next 5 minutes. I was concerned for my safety because I wasn't sure if my breaks and all the other things were working propoerly. I didn't know how fast I was going or if my car was going to stall on the highway. I see that a recall was issued by honda yesertday, not for my car model, but a similar issue (a software bug can cause the instrument panel and rear-view camera to go blank). It has not yet been inspected by a repair person. There wre not any warning lights prior to this happening.

I own a 2019 Honda Odyssey with approximately 100,000 miles. The power tailgate began malfunctioning suddenly. The rear hatch repeatedly unlatches and beeps as if it is opening even while the vehicle is in motion. After inspection, the dealership stated the tailgate control module failed due to water intrusion into the rear hatch area. I was told this is a known issue affecting multiple model years of Honda Odyssey vehicles (2018–2021), but there is currently no recall. This malfunction creates a potential safety hazard because the tailgate may unlatch unexpectedly while driving and causes continuous warning alarms and electrical issues. Owners are being required to pay for repairs caused by what appears to be a design defect allowing water to damage the tailgate module. I am requesting that this issue be investigated for a potential safety recall.

Multiple possibly related issues: 1) Power Lift gate (rear hatch) will on occasion close unexpectedly and can trap a person between the hatch and the back bumper of the car. Very dangerous for children and for handicap adults who cannot move quickly (I have had both have issues with mine). (Has consistently occurred since purchase, dealership refuses to acknowledge/correct issue when it was under warranty). 2) Random electrical problems (various sensors malfunctioning, sliding doors unable to open/close, power lift gate would not close/latch). Occurred twice (Jun 2023, Feb 2026).

The driver-side power sliding door latch, motor and cable system on my 2019 Honda Odyssey Elite failed. Honda performed Recall A88 (sliding door handle cable repair) in 2021. After this repair the door began intermittently failing to close fully and would close about 80% before the sensor triggered it to reopen. This continued until this week when the door suddenly stopped latching completely. The automatic door buttons no longer work and the door can only be moved manually. I believe my vehicle should also be included in recalls Z33 and O36 addressing sliding door latch failures affecting similar 2019 Odyssey vehicles. The failed components are available for inspection upon request. This defect creates a serious passenger safety hazard. Because the door will not latch, it opens while driving. The automatic function does not work and the door can be moved manually but will not latch. This creates risk of passenger ejection, especially children, and the possibility of the door opening during a crash. The vehicle is unsafe to operate. Yes. The failure was reproduced and confirmed by a Honda dealership that inspected and diagnosed the sliding door failure. The vehicle was inspected by a Honda dealership and I was charged a diagnostic fee. Honda refused recall or goodwill coverage because my VIN is not included. I request the repair be performed free under recalls Z33 and O36 and the diagnostic fee reimbursed. I am waiting for NHTSA inspection and request Honda be required to include my vehicle and repair it at no cost. Before total failure the door would close about 80% and automatically reopen. When it stopped working this week, the dashboard displayed a “Left Sliding Door Problem” warning and the vehicle produced continuous beeping while driving.

Reporting a failure of Safety Recall 23-046 / NHTSA Campaign 23V431000 on US vehicle. Post-recall 'remedy,' the vehicle suffers with the same MOST Network error and from severe parasitic battery drain as described in Honda Service Bulletin 23-061. This led to a total electrical failure and vehicle grounding in -24°C temperatures. This systemic MOST Bus network defect was previously the subject of the Conti v. American Honda (2:19-cv-02160) settlement. The vehicle is currently grounded at a dealership in Canada, and Honda Canada refuses to acknowledge the failure of the recall remedy or the resulting consequential damages (battery/starter failure). I am filing this to report an ineffective recall remedy on a US-certified vehicle. I have tried establishing contact with Honda US however there has been no response from them
