Additional letters will be sent once the remedy is available, anticipated in late 2026. Owners may contact Honda's customer service at 1-888-234-2138. Honda's numbers for this recall are DO5 and RO6.

   Happens frequently. While it has not yet caused the vehicle to fully slam on the brakes, it will occasionally flash the brake warning and apply the brakes even when there are no obstacles present. Additionally, when backing out of the driveway, the vehicle sometimes detects the road surface as an obstruction and abruptly applies the brakes. This occurs consistently in the same location, likely due to the steep angle of the driveway.
