330K+ Hondas Recalled for Side-View Mirrors Detaching

Honda is announcing a recall of over 330,000 vehicles due to heating pads behind side-view mirrors being improperly attached, resulting in glass falling out, AP News reports.

Vehicles listed in the recall were 2020-2022 models of Odysseys and Passports and 2020-2021 models of Pilots and Ridgelines.

Mirror glass falling out as a result of heating pads behind them that are not “bonded properly” poses a risk of crashing. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stated that the recalled vehicles have failed to follow “necessary rear visibility requirements.”

Owners of affected vehicles can expect to receive a mailed notice from Honda beginning May 8. Honda dealers will replace side-view mirrors on recalled vehicles at no cost to the driver.
