I purchased my 2024 Honda Prologue on [XXX]. On [XXX], I opened a case with American Honda because the vehicle has an open rearview camera safety recall, the federal safety agency Recall 26V‑306 / Honda Recall D05. Since then, I have repeatedly contacted American Honda and several authorized Honda dealerships trying to get the recall repaired. I have spent weeks calling representatives, speaking with case managers, contacting dealerships myself, and trying to understand who is responsible for providing the replacement camera. I have received conflicting information and very little clear assistance. On [XXX], Future Honda in Citrus Heights inspected the vehicle. Their repair order states: “SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN: REAR VIEW CAMERA - REPLACE.” The rearview camera was not functioning at the time, and the dealership told me the replacement camera had to be requested or ordered through Honda. Future Honda later told me the request had been submitted and they were waiting for the part. On [XXX], an American Honda representative left me a voicemail stating she had contacted the dealer, confirmed the part was ordered, and that I needed to continue waiting for it to arrive. As of October 25, 2026, the recall remains incomplete. I still have no repair, estimated delivery date, shipping information, or confirmation that a camera has been allocated to my vehicle. Future Honda says it is waiting for Honda, while American Honda has also told me dealerships handle their own parts. I am filing this complaint because I have been trying to obtain this recall repair since September 14, and after more than a month I still do not have a timely remedy or clear resolution.

The contact owns a 2024 Honda Prologue. The contact received a safety recall notification for the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 26V306000 (Back Over Prevention); however, the part required for the repair was not yet available. The contact stated that the failure was actively occurring, with the rearview camera displaying an intermittent and brief image. Additionally, the contact stated that the rubber weatherstripping seals for all doors, windows, and the sunroof continually detached. Although the dealer previously replaced the seals, the repairs failed to correct the issue, and the seals continued to detach. Both the manufacturer and a local dealer were notified of the ongoing failures, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was 12,000.
The center display and instrument cluster on my 2024 Honda Prologue fail intermittently while driving. When the instrument cluster drops out, I lose the speedometer and driver information display. When the center display fails, the backup camera image is unavailable, along with audio and climate information. On July 24th, while driving at approximately 45 mph near Keuka Park with my family in the vehicle, the center display went black. Minutes later, the instrument cluster cut out and recovered three separate times. I recorded video of the display failure and two of the cluster dropouts. The problem began at 868 miles, about three weeks after delivery in April 2025. Dealers replaced the touch screen audio unit in May 2025 and the radio control assembly and infotainment module in June 2025. The problem returned. Honda Recall 26-056 (Meter/Center Display software update) was performed on 5/5/2026, and the dealer technician documented on the repair order that the screen was still flickering and freezing immediately after the recall. A later dealer visit could not duplicate the problem. Failures continue, and I have ongoing video documentation. The recall remedy did not fix this defect. Losing the speedometer and rearview camera while driving is a safety risk. Losing the infotainment screen and rearview camera is almost a daily guarantee at this point.
While backing up the car abruptly stops Back up. This happens a couple of times when it was slightly raining also when there was nothing behind my vehicle. Honda sent me notification of a backup camera recall. When I took my car for the recall and inspection, I was told the part is on back order. I then got an email from EVGO stating the following: Thu, Oct 1 at 10:43 PM EVgo Fast Charging Hi [XXX], We've revised our EVgo Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

The rear backup camera is extremely dark at low light level conditions causing it to be a deterrent instead of assistant. I cannot see in the dark with the camera!
Description of Safety Defect: The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) / Forward Collision Avoidance system is severely malfunctioning. On multiple occasions, the vehicle has experienced "phantom braking"—abruptly slamming on the brakes for no reason whatsoever. There were no obstacles, pedestrians, or vehicles ahead to trigger the system. This malfunction is happening at high speeds on major highways. Safety Risk and Impact: This issue represents an immediate and terrifying safety hazard. Unexpectedly slowing to a sudden stop at highway speeds completely compromises vehicle control and leaves me at an extreme risk of being rear-ended by high-speed traffic. It is a severe danger to myself, my passengers, and every other driver on the road. While the vehicle is currently subject to a manufacturer recall regarding the backup camera and other software updates, this specific, dangerous braking behavior makes the vehicle incredibly unsafe to operate. I request that the federal safety agency review this issue immediately to determine if a broader safety investigation or expanded recall is required for the 2024 Honda Prologue.
The issue I'm experiencing with my 24 Prologue is the infotainment screen (which controls a lot of the vehicle) sometimes having issues showing the backup camera, or issues with the car not allowing me to utilize ACC (says temporarily unavailable), etc. I feel less safe in the vehicle as a result. The issue is an OPEN recall and the dealership I've contacted 5x [XXX] ) has refused to do the update to the vehicle for various reasons, the most recent being: Honda has not delivered the update needed to the dealership for them to do the work.

I need the federal safety agency assisting in resolving safety recall # 26V112, Instrument Panel and Rearview Camera Displays May Fail/FMVSS 101,111,305. I took my Honda Prologue vehicle to Honda dealer for the recall to be address. The dealer started the update process but failed to complete the update process and is now refusing to continue with the safety recall. The update process is to bring the vehicle operating system to the new and improved version to address failures as reported. The operating system that has the known failures is version Android 12, released in April of 2024. The new and improved operating system is version Android 14, released in May of 2025. This new and improved version were release to address the known failures. My vehicle is still operating on the same outdated operating version (Android 12) knows to have these failures. I have been in contact with Honda corporate trying to address this safety recall to no avail. I need assisting in resolving this safety recall as I do not feel safe driving my vehicle on the road. I am requesting a response regarding this matter.
This vehicle is experiencing constant malfunctions with the infotainment system. It constantly flickers, freezes, and blacks out completely during normal driving conditions. This is prohibiting use of features controlled by the unit including charge settings and rear camera use. This has been a constant issue with this car and has been checked by Honda Henderson multiple times and all attempts have failed to resolve.
Backup Camera Failure (Occurred at approx. 1,000 miles) Part was on backorder, the rearview camera remained inoperative for approximately 99 days (February 22 through May 31, 2025). This rendered the vehicle non-compliant with federal rearview camera safety requirements. Emergency Braking System Issues (Ongoing) Compounding this, the vehicle’s emergency braking system would activate erratically and without cause, including: •When entering or exiting my driveway •During normal lane changes •When driving near trucks or concrete barriers Because these events occurred repeatedly and unexpectedly, I was forced to disable this safety system to avoid sudden braking events, further compromising vehicle safety. Broken CV Axles (Officially diagnosed at approx. 6,000-7,000 miles) •On May 31, 2025, the vehicle was returned to the dealership for backup camera installation and to revisit the knocking noise, this time properly documented. •That same day, both the left and right CV axles were diagnosed as broken, and I was told the vehicle was not safe to drive. •I had unknowingly been driving in this unsafe condition for almost three months. •The vehicle remained in the dealership’s possession until June 5, 2025 (6 days), Recurrence of Knocking Noise and Third Service Visit (January 10, 2026 – Approx. 15,000 miles) At approximately 15,000 to 16,000 miles, the knocking noise had returned (in both directions of steering) and I brought the vehicle in to be diagnosed •The dealership acknowledged hearing the noise. •I was told the sound is a “well-documented issue” with this model and considered “normal.” •I was informed that the vehicle was safe to drive. •I was told Honda is working on a redesigned part and that a recall is expected in approximately six months to one year. •I was specifically told Honda will not authorize replacement of the same axle parts again, as they continue to fail, and that I must wait for a recall remedy.
The backup camera is almost useless at night. Either the backup lights are not bright enough, or the camera is not sensitive enough in low light so that you are essentially blind when reversing at night.
