Honda Motor Co (NYSE:HMC) is recalling more than 330,318 vehicles because heating pads behind both side-view mirrors may not be bonded properly, which could lead to the mirror glass falling out and increase the risk of a crash.

Vehicles included in the recall are the 2020-2022 Odyssey, 2020-2022 Passport, 2020-2021 Pilot and 2020-2021 Ridgeline as the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that the vehicles do not comply with the necessary rear visibility requirements.

Honda dealers will replace the side-view mirrors on impacted vehicles free of charge.

Owner notification letters are expected to be sent out on May 8.

Shares of HMC are up 1.01% in pre-market trading on Tuesday.
