1 Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/03/2026

The front multipurpose camera system failed, triggering multiple safety warning lights simultaneously, including acc (adaptive cruise control), lkas (lane keeping assist system), and related camera-dependent safety systems, along with a "multipurpose camera unit" fault code u3000-49. The failure pattern has been intermittent and inconsistent: on some drives, warning lights are absent at startup and appear after several minutes of driving; on other occasions the warnings appear immediately at startup; duration before onset varies from trip to trip. This vehicle falls within the range covered by a prior Honda recall (recall 19-020 / NHTSA campaign for 2019-2020 Passport) addressing software programming errors in the front control module causing improper display of instrument panel and delayed or missing rearview camera images. The current failure presents similar camera-related safety system symptoms. A dealership inspection recommended replacement of the multipurpose camera unit at an estimated cost of approximately $2,000, without confirming the root cause of the failure. Safety concern: loss of acc, lkas, and related driver-assist camera systems while driving, with warnings appearing unpredictably during operation, some minutes into a drive rather than at startup, suggesting a fault that may not always be evident during a pre-drive check.

2 Warning problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2026

Multipurpose camera stopped working and most of the safety systems alerts are on now and don’t work.

3 Warning problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2025

The nidec oem part number 36160-tgs-a03-m1 has failed and causing all five of these alerts to appear as warnings: 1. Road departure mitigation problem 2. Collision mitigation problem 3. Lane keeping assist problem. 4. Auto high beam problem. 5 adaptive cruise control failure I don't know if the nidec part is oem from Honda and I believe the materials used by nidec are creating the issue. I thought the Honda oem part for this camera came from bosch. The german part appears to made from aluminum, the nidec part might be a plastic or other material. I am researching the failure rate on your part as I don’t believe there is a heat sink as part of the configuration and the part seems to be out of stock everywhere I look.

Front radar camera is broken after 100000 miles. Errors include: adaptive cruise control, lane keeping assist, brake system, road departure mitigation system, auto high beam, collision mitigation.
