2025: Recall of 259,000 vehicles due to brake system defect
In mid-June 2025, the National Highway Traffic Safety USA Administration (NHTSA) announced that the company was Honda recalling over 259 thousand cars due to a defect associated with the brake system. The identified problem causes the brake pedal to shift, which can prevent the driver from slowing down or stopping the vehicle. In certain situations, this increases the risk of a traffic accident.
Honda began investigating the fault in April 2024, after receiving a complaint. The company later found that the problem was related to the incorrect assembly of the brake pedal assembly at the supplier's US factory, which has since been closed. Production was moved to an enterprise in Mexico, where a special camera with sensors is used to control the assembly process.

The recall affects a total of 259,033 vehicles. These are the 2023-2025 Honda Pilot cars, as well as the 2021-2025 Acura TLX and 2023-2025 Acura MDX models. The notice from the automaker says that the defect may be expressed in the wrong position of the brake pedal. In this case, the brake malfunction indicator on the instrument cluster may light up, while the car's brake lights will continue to burn, even if the brake pedal is not pressed. Between February 2024 and June 5, 2025, Honda received three warranty claims related to this problem, but there were no reports of accidents or injuries.
It is estimated that marriage is present in about 1% of machines that potentially fall under the recall program. On such cars, dealers will replace the brake pedal assembly for free if necessary.[1]
2020: Honda recalls 608,000 cars due to defective software that leads to reboot of on-board computers
In early August 2020, Honda recalls 608 thousand cars due to defective software, which leads to a reboot of on-board computers. In addition, software errors can lead to a failure of the backup camera and the display. The recall campaign kicks off on September 23.
A number of Odyssey 2018-2020, Passport 2019-2020 and Pilot 2019-2021 vehicles were equipped with "dashboard control module software." Due to a software failure, important information may not be displayed on the display, such as speed, engine oil pressure, and gearshift position until the vehicle is rebooted. These displays can also reboot spontaneously, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Faulty software can also prevent data from being displayed from the backup camera. Honda promises to notify owners, but drivers will have to reinstall the software at the dealer. There will be no wireless software patch.
Another recall concerns 500,000 cars of the same series that have a software problem that can delay or interfere with the display of data from the rear view camera. The problem can also concern the car audio system. Owners of these cars can either download the fix wirelessly or visit a dealer. In addition, some 2019-20 Odysseys cars were fitted with faulty backup cameras, which over time resulted in image distortion, while the 2018-2020 Odysseys have problems snapping the sliding door. However, this is not the first time Honda has experienced software malfunctions - in 2018, the company recalled about 232,000 Accords and Insights cars due to a similar problem with the backup camera.[2]
