Manufacturer is refusing to complete recall #KCK. Dealer inspected vehicle and says backup camera works so Honda is telling them to do nothing. This was 5 months ago. Unable to get recall removed from my VIN.

Back up camera no longer works due to frayed wiring.

The 2019 Honda Ridgeline truck has a tailgate that opens and closes vertically as well as from right to left with a hinge on the drivers side. The action appears to cause the wire from the back up camera to chafe causing a short circuit. Shortly after my 36,000 mile warranty expired by back up camera began to fail. Now the backup camera does not come on when put into reverse but the whole display screen (GPS, Audio, etc) does not come on unless the tailgate is opened and closed repeatedly. This presents a safety hazard as vision behind the truck is very restricted when backing up. My Honda dealer said that there is a TSB for this problem but no recall has been issued.

Four months after warranty expiration, the back up camera began malfunctioning - either not working at all (black screen when in reverse) or camera image stuck on "fish eye". The wiring harness between body and tailgate is clearly frayed, with copper wires showing some as severed and some as lacking insulation. Worried about backing up into/over pedestrian or bicycle.
