Honda is recalling 2018–2020 Honda Odyssey minivans because moisture can enter the rearview camera and cause the image to be distorted, not display at all, or not appear in certain bright light conditions; vehicles previously repaired under recall O38 also require a second repair. A malfunctioning rearview camera can reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up and increase crash risk. Honda will notify owners by mail and advise taking the vehicle to a dealer to replace the rearview camera.
