What Happened
The rearview camera on your Fit or HR-V is the feature that shows you what's behind your vehicle when you're in reverse. In some models, the image might not appear when you start the engine with a key.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera display doesn't work, you'll have reduced visibility of what's behind your vehicle, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will update the display software for free, so you can see the rearview camera image when you start the engine. You should schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and if you've already had a previous repair, you'll need to have this new fix done too.
