Honda bulletin ATI&05252022901

What it saysDealer message - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Honda filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated May 25, 2022, received Jun 6, 2022, about the visibility/wiper. It names 6 model years (2016–2021). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

Honda Hr-V rear camera cannot see in the absolute dark causing a safety hazard backing up. In the daytime it's fine but on a dark street absent of lights all you see is a white-out blizzard on screen when in reverse.. Spoke to Honda service as well as Honda hq and they tell me that's all they can do. No night vision

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Honda ATI&05252022901 a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the ATI&05252022901 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Honda warranty extension on file lists the ones Honda has filed.

Which vehicles does ATI&05252022901 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 6 model years: 2021 Honda HR-V, 2020 Honda HR-V, 2019 Honda HR-V, 2018 Honda HR-V, 2017 Honda HR-V, 2016 Honda HR-V. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
