Recall Date: 5/14/2026
NHTSA ID: 26V306
MFr. Campaign Number: D05, RO6
Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Affected Components: Rearview camera assembly
Potential Number of Units Affected: ~59,887
The recall covers two electric SUVs sold under Honda Group brands: the 2024 Acura ZDX and the 2024-2025 Honda Prologue. The Prologue is the larger of the two populations at 44,199 units, produced October 10, 2023, through September 3, 2025. The Acura ZDX accounts for 15,688 units, produced December 19, 2023, through January 21, 2025.
The rearview camera assembly is supplied by Sharp. Honda estimates approximately 4% of the 59,887 vehicles in the population may exhibit the active defect. The recall population was determined based on manufacturing records and reflects all possible vehicles that could experience the condition.
The defect is a manufacturing issue in the rearview camera assembly. The camera housing may be improperly bonded, which allows portions of the adhesive to separate over time. As the adhesive separates, moisture can enter the camera assembly and cause corrosion of internal electrical components.
The result for the driver is a rearview camera image that becomes blurry, distorted, or fails to display at all — a black screen on the center display when shifted into reverse. A distorted or missing rearview image increases the risk of a crash or injury during low-speed reverse maneuvers.
The remedy is a rearview camera replacement, performed at an authorized Honda or Acura dealership at no cost to the owner. The replacement camera uses an improved bonding process. Dealer notification is scheduled for May 15, 2026, with interim owner notification on July 6, 2026. The recall condition was already corrected in production with improved rearview cameras as of June 9, 2025.
Honda received notification of a potential incident on May 14, 2024, and began investigating. Returned parts arrived in late June 2024, and Honda began a joint investigation with General Motors that ran through July 2025. The collaboration matters here: the Acura ZDX and Honda Prologue are both built on the GM Ultium EV platform, which means both OEMs were working from a shared component issue and a shared supplier.
From August 2025 through April 2026, Honda and GM continued to monitor market data, analyze returned parts, and evaluate the issue. The team confirmed that the root cause was an improper pre-treatment (plasma irradiation) of the rearview camera case bonding surface by Sharp during manufacturing — the plasma treatment caused deformation or chemical alteration of portions of the bonding surface, reducing adhesive strength and resulting in delamination over time.
On May 7, 2026, Honda determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety existed and decided to conduct a safety recall. As of that date, Honda had logged 2,411 warranty claims and no reports of injury or death related to the issue.

59,887 vehicles is a meaningful share of Honda Group's first-generation EV population in the U.S. — these are highly-engaged customers who tend to track issues affecting their vehicles closely. Owner notification doesn't go out until July 6, but Honda has 2,411 warranty claims already on the books, which suggests a portion of the customer base is already aware that something is wrong. Dealer notification on May 15 gives Honda and Acura dealers a roughly seven-week window to identify affected customers and bring them in ahead of the mail campaign.
BizzyCar's Recall Outreach product cross-references a dealer's customer database against open recall data to flag affected vehicles and initiate automated two-way SMS outreach. For Honda and Acura dealers, that's a way to engage the EV segment of their customer base directly — and for Acura dealers in particular, a chance to reinforce the premium ownership experience the ZDX customer expects.
