The auto safety regulator said on Friday it has opened a recall query into over 120,000 Honda Ridgeline U.S. vehicles over rear-view camera (RVC) failures.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said the query concerned the model year 2017–2019 of Honda Ridgeline vehicles.
The RVC wire harness was manufactured with a material which was susceptible to breakage upon repeated opening and closing of the tailgate, which ultimately leads to a complete loss of RVC function, the NHTSA said.
Honda has identified a replacement harness manufactured by a new supplier with improved material properties to withstand wear from bending, the regulator added.
