  BACK OVER PREVENTION:SOFTWARE · ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

  Honda (American Honda Motor Co.) is recalling certain 2024 Acura ZDX and Prologue vehicles. Due to a software error, the instrument panel display may fail. Additionally, a software error may cause the rearview camera to display a blank screen when the vehicle is in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 101, "Control and Displays," 111, "Rear Visibility," and 305, "Electric-Powered Vehicles."

  Risk: An instrument panel display that fails to show critical safety information, such as the speedometer or warning lights, increases the risk of a crash or injury. Additionally, the loss of the rearview camera image can reduce the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

  Remedy: Dealers will update the vehicle radio control module software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 22, 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are TNL and XNK. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall will be searchable on NHTSA.gov beginning March 4, 2026.

   On the morning of October 6, 2026, approximately 0500 PST, the vehicle displayed a "Service High Voltage System" warning on startup and the estimated range display went blank ("-- mi"). The high-voltage battery system was not delivering power. This appears to be the same defect reported by multiple other 2024 Prologue owners (sudden HV system fault, reduced or no propulsion, loss of charging). It also states battery is low, separate from the HV message. Honda Roadside…

   I have been calling Honda of Temecula, Ca since February of this year. I have been calling them monthly to fix my recalls and their response is " I have one to and we do not have the parts and software for the vehicle." I lease this vehicle and still have until December 2027. A recall should be repaired in a timely manner and I am now going on 8 months. I would happily turn in this vehicle for another lease. I have already had the battery replaced, spend countless hours at…

   My car has a recall for a defective rareview camera (showing all black). I took it to the dealer 2 months ago and they told me that i have to wait for a camera replacement and that they do not know when the part will be available. This is a major safety issue for me and I am not sure how to expedite the process. Or what are the alternatives as I need a car but do not feel safe driving it. Thanks!

   We where approaching the ramp to the bridge and our dashboard indicated front camera malfunction - ever since we’ve taken it to the dealer numerous times and the problem has not been resolved. It’s a safety issue. In addition also the cross camera doesn’t work sometimes and the dealer told us they know of this issue.

   This car has a problem with the emergency brake system activating when there is nothing in any danger zone. We have owned this car for about a year, and when slowly reversing, we have been repeatedly annoyed by the warning lights & sounds going off & emergency brakes locking the wheels. Each time we check the cameras, mirrors and even get out of the car to look, but there was nothing anywhere near that would trigger such an event. This happened 4-5 times over the past year,…

   I was driving a 2024 Honda Prologue Elite and was coming to an ordinary stop at a safe distance behind another car at a red light. With my foot continuously and firmly pressed on the brake pedal, a brake alert/warning appeared on the dashboard screen accompanied by beeping, and the emergency brakes automatically engaged, stopping the car abruptly. Then, almost immediately, the vehicle suddenly lurched forward without warning, striking the vehicle ahead of me. I kept my foot…

   This is my second separate report which I experience with my car. On August of 30th, the car was unable to shift, so it was towed to Andy Mohr dealer to repair. It took 5 days for serviceman to figure out there was a wire issue. So he fixed, so he thought, on the September 9th, the same warning light came on my dashboard. I spent over a thousand dollar just serviceman to diagnose the same problem 3 times, but nothing was fixed. The warning lights are "service transmission…

   The car just stopped as I was driving, would not shift gears, and told me “service high voltage system” and “ service battery fault shutting down soon” and turned off. It was on 185 miles left (63%) and went to 0% later on and now won’t charge or turn on. I have screen shots and time stamps of those things

   While driving, the center console and its corresponding section of the instrument cluster will freeze and then completely turn off and become black screens. Then a message stating “the system is restarting” comes on the screen and after a minute or two it will turn back on. This happens at random times in random intervals; I have not been able to detect a pattern in the time between incidents or the amount of driving. My car has already been repaired for the initial federal…

    The digital instrument cluster and infotainment/display system repeatedly FAILS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. The screens suddenly glitch, shut down, or go completely black, causing me to lose access to critical vehicle information. The vehicle remains available for NHTSA or manufacturer inspection upon request. This is an ongoing and unresolved safety defect.
