What's wrong, in plain English

Honda is recalling certain Fit and HR-V vehicles. Because of a design error in the power circuit for the audio display, the rearview camera picture may not appear on the screen when the engine is started with a key. Because of this, these vehicles do not meet the federal safety standard covering rear visibility. This recall has been replaced by recall 24V-384, and vehicles already repaired under this recall need the newer repair done.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Honda dealer about the newer recall, 24V-384, which replaces this one, or call Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138.
3. The repair is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 23V046000.
