Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Odyssey, 2019-2020 Passport, and 2019-2021 Pilot vehicles. Incorrect instrument panel control module software can cause the instrument panel to not display critical information, such as engine oil pressure, speedometer, and gear selector position until the next ignition cycle. Additionally, it can prevent the rearview camera image from displaying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 111, "Rearview Mirrors."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Operating a vehicle without a functioning instrument panel or rearview camera display increases the risk of a crash.

Manufacturer

What Happened
The outer door handle cables on your Odyssey are like the flexible arms that help you open your sliding doors. In certain 2018-2020 models, water could seep into these cables and freeze in cold weather, making them stiff and unable to work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the door handle cables freeze, your sliding doors may not latch securely. This means the door could open while you're moving, increasing the risk of injury to you or your passengers.
Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will replace the faulty door handle cables for free. They'll make sure your sliding doors latch securely, and you won't be charged a thing.
