Only vehicles without keyless ignition are included in the recall

Honda issued a recall for more than 114,000 vehicles because their backup cameras might not display when the vehicle is in Reverse, which could cause a crash. The recall covers Fit hatchbacks from the 2018 through 2020 model years and HR-V SUVs from the 2019 through 2022 model years.

The problem is due to a faulty circuit in the vehicle’s audio system and affects only vehicles that have a physical ignition key instead of a push-button start.

In documents provided to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Honda says that it is aware of 205 warranty claims and no injuries related to this issue.

• 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: Honda will contact owners of affected vehicles by mail starting March 13, 2023. Owners may also contact Honda at 888-234-2138. 

NHTSA campaign number: 23V046. Honda’s own number for this recall is 6DW.

Check to see whether your vehicle has an open recall: NHTSA’s website will tell you whether your vehicle has any open recalls that need to be addressed.

If you plug your car’s 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) into NHTSA’s website and a recall doesn’t appear, it means your vehicle doesn’t currently have any open recalls. Because automakers issue recalls often, and for many older vehicles, we recommend checking back regularly to see whether your vehicle has had a recall issued.
