Recalls can feel like part of life for some owners. But when it comes to Honda, they tend to hit a little harder because of the brand’s reputation for reliability. And in what feels like one last smack in the face for its EV program, Honda has issued a new recall for the backup camera on the 2024 and 2025 Honda Prologue and the 2024 Acura ZDX, just as it walks away from its battery electric vehicle plans in the U.S. The other question is whether the mechanically similar Chevrolet Blazer EV and Cadillac Lyriq will soon get hit with the same recall, given how closely they’re tied to the Prologue and ZDX.
The recall covers 44,199 Honda Prologues from the 2024 and 2025 model years, plus 15,688 Acura ZDXs from 2024, the only year Acura offered it. According to the recall, improper pretreatment of the camera housing can cause the adhesive holding it together to fail and separate. Once that happens, moisture can get inside, corrode internal electrical components, and leave owners with anything from a blurry or distorted image to a backup camera that stops working altogether.
