2024–2025 Acura and Honda: back over prevention recall
A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.
What was reported

What that means, in plain English
Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wordingA blank or distorted rearview camera image materially reduces the driver's ability to detect obstacles or pedestrians behind the vehicle, directly enabling a backover crash.
Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.
The fix, from the dealer bulletin
Source: NHTSA remedy instructions and dealer noticeThe remedy, in the manufacturer’s words: Limited parts are available for vehicles exhibiting a blank, blurry, or distorted rearview camera image when shifted into.
The advisory, as filed: “Any affected vehicles in your dealer inventory are on STOP SALE under certain conditions.”
Read from NHTSA’s copy of the manufacturer’s dealer documents (manufacturer campaign DO5, RO6). The procedure itself is in the bulletin; a franchised dealer has the current copy on the manufacturer’s portal, and that copy governs. Working a lot or a fleet? Recall Watch carries this line on every VIN it checks: remedy status, hours, stop-sale.
Which vehicles are covered
Source: NHTSA campaign 26V306000Vehicles built Oct 10, 2023 to Sep 3, 2025 — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.
| Model year | Class | Safety Signal | Recalls on file |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 Acura ZDX | Large SUV | C | 5 |
| 2024 Honda Prologue | Large SUV | B | 3 |
| 2025 Honda Prologue | Large SUV | A | 1 |
Those are the model years inside WhichTrim's range, 2016 onward. The campaign may cover others outside it, and the only thing that settles whether one specific vehicle is included is its VIN.

Check one specific vehicle
A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. Type the VIN and the WhichTrim recall report checks this campaign’s build window and engine against it.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573Is DO5, RO6 the same recall as 26V306000?
Yes. DO5, RO6 is the number Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 26V306000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.
Does this recall repair cost anything?
No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.
How do I know whether my vehicle is included?
By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built Oct 10, 2023 to Sep 3, 2025. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.
What if the repair is not available yet?
It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. This campaign was filed without a repair available — Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) says so in the text above, and expected one by late 2026.
What did the manufacturer say was wrong?
The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.
Who started this recall?
NHTSA's record credits NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
