Honda is recalling nearly 1.2 million vehicles due to a visibility issue with the vehicle’s rear view camera, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported Friday.
In documents posted by U.S. safety regulator, Honda said the rear view camera image may not appear on the dashboard screen in certain models.
If that happens, regulators said, it can decrease driver visibility and increase the risk of a crash.
Honda reported the problem is due to “a faulty coaxial cable connector.”
