Honda Recalls Over 65,000 EVs After Screens Go Blank
Honda has issued a recall covering 65,135 crossover EVs for software issues with their infotainment screens. Affected models may see, or rather not see, blank instrument panels and infotainment screens, which violate federal regulations for vehicle safety. Honda says that both the 2024 Honda Prologue and the 2024 Acura ZDX fall under the recall.
Honda first became aware of the problem during the summer of 2024, but couldn't reproduce it. Automakers like to reproduce the issues they believe may lead to a recall before turning to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association (NHTSA) to issue the recall. However, by December 2025, Honda had heard of six softare defects that fit the profile. As of the automaker's filing with the NHTSA, 148 vehicles have had the issue fixed under warranty, just as all affected models will be. Here's how the 65,000+ models under the recall break down:
- 2024 Acura ZDX — 19,573
- 2024 Honda Prologue — 45,562
- Total: 65,135

Honda says that due to the defect, the two SUVs were in violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards. Dealers will be the ones to remedy the recall, this time via a software update performed at the dealership. If you own one of these vehicles, expect notification for the recall and subsequent fix to arrive on April 20th. Honda. Dealers, meanwhile, have already been notified.
The recall follows a previous one from a few years ago, covering an issue with poorly constructed suspension components that could fracture. That was in 2024, making the Prologue one of the least recalled vehicles in the Honda lineup. It's certainly a far sight better than Ford, which leads automakers in recalls this year by a massive margin.
