JAKARTA - Massive recall was carried out by Japanese automotive company Honda. The automaker recalled several models of more than one million units.
Honda mentions several models affected, such as Odyssey, Pilot, and Passport. The trigger for the recall is that there is damage to the coalx cable that can cause the camera to break the mirror when used.
Quoted from Motor1, Jum'at, June 23, the affected vehicles amounted to 1,198,280 million units. The withdrawal includes the 2018-2023 production Odyssey model, 2019-2023 production Passport, and 2019-2022 production pilot.
This problem arises in the Media Oriented Systems Transport (MOST) cable which is designed and manufactured incorrectly. If the cable fails, it will give rise to a flashy audience screen and a warning sound appears.
Due to a failure in the system, this can cause the camera on the mirror to be released while being used by affected vehicle users.
Honda is aware of the problem after receiving claim guarantees of 273,870 involving the three affected models. The claim guarantees that include these problems occurred in a six-year period from May 2017 to June 2023.
However, Honda estimates that 50 percent of all units are recalled, possibly experiencing a damaged MOST cable that could cause malfunction in the system.
However, vehicle owners need not worry. This problem cannot cause the car to catch fire or threaten the safety of vehicle users. Honda also did not record any cases that caused injury or accident due to this problem.
Honda has informed the dealer about this issue. Meanwhile, the manufacturer will notify the owner directly starting in July.
This is not the first recall case from the Honda brand. Previously, Honda withdrew as many as 330,318 vehicles which included the same model.
Although they both involve rear-view mirrors, the previous recall program was caused by a mirror heating pillow component that can loosen the adhesive and escape the rear plate of the mirror so that it can cause the rear glass to fall off.
