Vehicles Affected: Approximately 607,800 model-year 2018-20 Honda Odyssey minivans, model-year 2019-20 Passport SUVs and model-year 2019-21 Pilot SUVs
The Problem: 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. Either malfunction increases the risk of a crash.
The Fix: Dealers will reprogram the instrument panel control module software for free.
What Owners Should Do:Honda will begin notifying owners Sept. 23. Owners can call the automaker at 888-234-2138, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
