Acura Rearview Camera Recalls for Blank or Distorted Screens
Loss of the rearview camera image is the recurring problem in these Acura notices. The 2024 ZDX appears in two recalls: the February 2026 notice describes software errors affecting both the instrument panel and rearview camera, while the May 2026 notice describes a distorted or blank rearview image. The 2025 MDX appears in the January 2025 recall because its center console touchscreen may go blank and prevent the camera image from displaying as intended. Although the missing camera view is common to these notices, their remedies differ: radio control module software for the February ZDX recall, a camera replacement for the May ZDX recall, and a display unit replacement for the MDX.
Warning signs to watch for
- February 26, 2026 ZDX recall: the instrument panel may fail, and the rearview camera may show a blank screen in reverse.
- May 14, 2026 ZDX recall: the rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.
- January 23, 2025 MDX recall: the center console touchscreen may go blank, hiding the rearview camera image.
