UNDATED (WKRC) - Honda has recalled over 187,000 top-selling vehicles.

According to CBS News, Honda recalled about 187,000 Ridgeline pickup trucks due to a problem with the rearview camera. Per the network, the cameras may stop working in cold, wintery weather.

Citing documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) by Honda, CBS reported the camera wiring on the affected Ridgelines are susceptible to cracking, as a result of water and salt attaching to the wiring in low temperatures.

Honda reported that it received 402 warranty claims related to the issue, according to CBS, which reported that no deaths or injuries have been reported.

"The cracks are further expanded with the repeated freezing and thawing of saltwater and the opening and closing of the tailgate, ultimately resulting in fatigue and breakage of the tailgate harness electric wires," Honda wrote in the documents submitted to the NHTSA, per CBS.

Once the wire harness breaks, the rearview camera is no longer able to operate, which can increase the risk of injury.

If you have an affected Ridgeline pickup truck, you can bring it to a Honda dealership for a free repair. Anyone who has already paid for the fix can contact Honda for reimbursement.

Owners will be notified on July 1, according to USA Today.
