Honda Canada also recalled 32,289 Odyssey minivans in early July and nearly 1,000 vehicles in late May due to issues affecting the rearview cameras. General Motors recalled over a quarter of a million Chevrolet Malibus in April, with 10,098 affected vehicles in Canada. The issue cited was potentially defective rear-view cameras. In January, Transport Canada announced an update regarding a recall involving more than 40,000 Volvo cars and SUVs due to a software problem that could cause the rearview camera images not to display when the vehicle was reversed.
