NHTSA Complaint about BACK OVER PREVENTION: CAMERA SYSTEM filed January 24, 2022

NHTSA complaint #1789864 (ODI reference 11448600) concerns a 2018 HONDA RIDGELINE and was filed on January 24, 2022. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 23, 2022. The report was geocoded to Maine based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as back over prevention: camera system, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.

The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.

Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA RIDGELINE cohort independently describe similar back over prevention: camera system failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 HONDA RIDGELINE shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.

Complaint Description

My backup camera stopped working on Jan 23, 2022. Shift to reverse, black screen, the guidelines still work. I found broken wires at the harness to the tailgate and will need to repair these to regain use of the backup camera system. There was no damage to the tailgate area of the truck, this appears to be a poor design on the electrical harness to the 2-way opening tailgate.
