Honda "American Honda Motor Co." is recalling certain 2018-2020 Fit and 2019-2022 HR-V vehicles. The rearview camera image may not display when the engine is started with a key, due to a design error in the audio display power circuit.

An inoperative rearview camera display can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will update the display audio unit software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed March 13, 2023. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
