Honda is recalling 325,588 Odyssey vans that could have an issue with their rearview camera systems not functioning. According to documents associated with the recall, water can get into the rearview camera assembly, causing the printed circuit board (PCB) to corrode, which prevents the car from displaying the rearview camera image. This issue affects a subset of 2018–2022 Odyssey vans.
While the recall population is fairly large, the associated documents show that the number of cars affected should actually be relatively small. According to the paperwork filed with NHTSA, an estimated 0.8 percent of the total recall population (2604 cars) is expected to be defective.

The affected vans left the factory equipped with Magna rearview cameras, which were then replaced with newer Magna units under the 2020 recall. According to the NHTSA documents, the vans covered under the newer recall will have their Magna units replaced with Sony rearview cameras instead.
Dealer notification has already begun, with owner notification letters scheduled to begin on August 24, 2026. Owners of affected models will be notified and urged to bring their Odyssey to an authorized Honda dealership to have the rearview camera replaced with the newer version. Owners concerned that their vehicle may be included in the recall can check on the NHTSA recalls page.
