This past spring I received a notification from Honda that there is a recall for an issue with my vehicles back up camera that may cause the camera to blur or go black. I called the dealer in [XXX] and they scheduled a time to bring in my vehicle and have it fixed. I dropped of my vehicle in the AM and was advised after calling in evening they would have to keep another day. When I went in next afternoon service advisor informed me that they did not have and could not get the part to fix. I told him I would check with [XXX] dealer I bought vehicle from when I got home in a couple of months. When I got home end of September I called local dealer and they informed me they still did not have the part. I informed them that the camera was blurring anytime that it rained and that this was a danger when trying to back up or pull out of my drive. They contacted Honda corporate and were told they had a limited supply of parts to fix but that I would have to bring the vehicle in and they would have to take a video and send it to them so they could see that the camera wasn't working properly. I advised them this was unacceptable as this is a problem that only shows up after it has rained or on very high humidity mornings and to expect me to drop everything and run to the dealer when it rained was ridiculous as I may well be working or have another engagement. I asked corporate to provide me with a refusal to complete work letter and they refused. Please help me as a camera failure jeopardizes not only my family but friends and neighbors of the community. If you have any other questions please call me at [XXX]. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

- What is wrong
- American Honda Motor Company (Honda) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Honda Prologue and 2024 Acura ZDX vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.
- Risk
- A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

- Dealers will replace the rearview camera, free of charge. Interim letters, notifying owners of the safety risk, were mailed July 7, 2026. Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1‑888‑234‑2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are DO5 and RO6.

What 2025 Honda Prologue owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
There is a clicking from the front of the Prologue when I am turning the wheel, generally to the left. It occurs when making a left, backing out of a parking spot mostly. I brought it to dealer #1 and they stated this is a known issue and normal and with out a code there is nothing they can do to fix it. It is currently at dealership #2 waiting to find out if the repair can be fixed. It is also in for electrically issue with the windows.
The vehicle is making clacking noise when doing any turn (left/right). Took my Prologue to the dealer twice May 22, 2026 and October 2, 2026. On my last visit to the dealer, the advisor confirm is a known issue but no directive have been received from Honda. This time the technician confirmed there is c/v axle noise from the left side. They recommend to replace the driver side c/v axle and they order the axle.
I have axle clicking issue on my car when I am turning the steering wheel. I wanted to the Honda dealership in Tyson Corner, VA and they refused to diagnose the issue as they said that they won’t change the axles. They said that as they know the problem and Honda is asking the dealership that the problem will come back again even with new parts replaced.
Front axels are noisy and produce a clicking sound at 1/4 steering wheel articulation
Took car to Ed Voyles Honda to get several issues addressed, one of which was this recall. Other issues were fixed but for this recall I was told that they don't actually replace the camera until there is an issue. Recall issue was not addressed.
At night rear view camera is dark unable to see objects, safety hazard. It is working, but does not have proper lighting. I have brought in to Honda and they have not resolved issue. State they can not duplicate issue.
forward and rear collision avoidance system (AEB) activating without a hazard, causing sudden stops in the middle of traffic
The rearview camera on my 2025 Honda Prologue Elite is absolutely unusable at night. The display is so dark that I can barely see anything behind the vehicle in dark conditions, even with the driveway/garage lights on. This creates a significant safety hazard when backing up, parking, or checking surroundings at night. Safety Concern: Rearview cameras are essential for visibility and preventing collisions, especially in low-light situations. Since the camera does not provide adequate visibility at night, it fails to meet its intended safety function and puts pedestrians, other vehicles, and property at risk. When It Occurs: The issue occurs consistently at night in low-light environments. During the day or well-lit areas the camera functions normally. Request: Please investigate this issue, as the poor visibility of the rearview camera at night appears to be a design or equipment defect that affects all vehicles of this model based on complaints from various owners in various forums/reddit etc
Audible clicking/knocking sound when turning left or right sharply at low speeds.
