Filing in context
The Reverse Lamp is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 6 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 16 Honda notifications from 2020 in this archive. For scale, 274 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 1 year and 5 months.
Defect
In the fuse box, the electromagnetic circuit and relay selection for the integrated reverse lamp control relay are inappropriate. When the relay operates, metallic debris generated during switching may become nipped in the relay drive section. This causes a contact failure in the relay, which may result in the reverse lamps failing to illuminate.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the fuse box with a corrected part.
