本田对后视相机相关问题并不陌生。例如,由于线束可能会疲劳,而且会因打开和关闭后闸门而断裂,所以不得不召回汽车制造商的单体卡车,使其达到117,445个单位。最近,有120万个平台衍生车型Pilot, Passport和奥德赛、"山脊线",由于设计和制造不当的同轴电缆被要求召回。

提交给国家公路交通安全管理局的文件显示，变形的端子可能会导致信息娱乐系统的触摸屏显示器和MOST同轴电缆的母连接器之间连接不良、断断续续或完全丢失。MOST表示面向媒体的系统传输,指的是微芯片技术的高速多媒体网络技术。

失去连接超过20秒将导致 后视相机 倒转失败。警告内容包括发出刺耳的声音,以及触摸屏显示器发出的闪烁声。该母连接器的编号为39817-sr-zz11-m1,供应商承包生产该连接器的形式是基于米西根的设备:TE Connectivity Automotive North America。

从本田Pilot (生产日期为2017年12月12日至2022年9月18日)开始,该清单还包括2019年款至2023年款的本田Passport(2017年11月6日至2023年6月5日生产),以及2018年至2023年款的本田奥德赛(2017年1月19日至2023年6月6日生产)。

如下文所附文件所示,电缆已经重新设计,供应商也改变了。全国的经销商已接到指示,要更换MOST线束。更重要的是,经销商技术人员将在连接器上安装一个拉直盖。这一补救措施对受影响的车主是免费的。那些自费固定连接问题的人有资格获得补偿。

1.2 Million Honda Vehicles Recalled for Improperly Designed and Manufactured Cable

Honda is no stranger to rearview camera-related issues. The automaker's unibody truck, for example, had to be recalled to the tune of 117,445 units because of a wire harness that may fatigue and break from opening and closing the tailgate. More recently, the Ridgeline has been joined by 1.2 million examples of platform siblings Pilot, Passport, and Odyssey for an improperly designed and manufactured coaxial cable.

Documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveal that deformed terminals may cause a poor, intermittent, or complete loss of connection between the infotainment system's touchscreen display and female connector of the MOST coaxial cable. MOST stands for Media Oriented Systems Transport, referring to Microchip Technology's high-speed multimedia network technology.

Losing connection for more than 20 seconds will result in the rearview camera failing when shifting into reverse. Warnings include crackling or popping sounds, as well as flickering from the touchscreen display. The female connector in question bears part number 39817-THR-ZZ11-M1, and the supplier contracted to produce it comes in the form of a Michigan-based outfit: TE Connectivity Automotive North America.

Honda started receiving flickering reports back in February 2019. Come June 2020, the aforementioned supplier adjusted both the cable length and terminals to improve connection. Honda then extended the warranty of affected vehicles. The automaker started using a waterproof coupler in February 2021, hoping to address connection issues once and for all.

Dealership reports alleging connection issues were filed with American Honda Motor Co., which is why the automaker opened yet another investigation. After no fewer than… wait for it… 273,870 warranty claims filed between May 2017 and June 2023, the safety boffins ultimately decided on a recall.

A whopping 1,198,280 vehicles are called back stateside, beginning with the 2019 to 2022 model year Honda Pilot crossover (production dates range between September 18, 2017 and December 12, 2022). The list further includes the 2019 to 2023 model year Honda Passport (November 6, 2017 to June 5, 2023), as well as the 2018 to 2023 model year Honda Odyssey minivan (January 19, 2017 to June 6, 2023).

As per the document attached below, the cable has been redesigned and the supplier changed. Nationwide dealers have been instructed to replace the entire MOST cable harness for extra peace of mind. What's more, dealer techs will install a straightening cover over the connector. This remedy comes at no cost to affected owners. Those who fixed connection issues at their own expense are eligible for reimbursement.

Owners of the ever-popular Pilot, more lifestyle-oriented Passport, and family-hauling Odyssey will be informed about said recall in the period between July 24 and August 2 by first-class mail. In the meantime, running the vehicle's identification number on the NHTSA's website is the easiest way of telling whether your Honda is recalled or not.
