Honda and Acura cars have been hit with a Year 2022 bug, aka Y2K22, that resets the navigation system's clock to January 1st, 2002, with no way to change it.
Starting on January 1st, the date on Acura and Honda navigation system would automatically change to January 1st, 2002, with the time resetting to 12:00, 2:00, 4:00, or other times based on the model or possibly the region the car is located.
Honda and Acura car owners report that the Y2K22 bug affects almost all older cars, including Honda Pilot, Odyssey, CRV, Ridgeline, Odyssey and Acura MDX, RDX, CSX, and TL models.
The same bug may affect Honda and Acura cars, but Honda customer service has said it should resolve itself in August 2022, indicating it may be a different issue.
It is doubtful that Acura and Honda will force a car owner to wait seven months for a fix, and an update for the navigation system will likely be released to resolve the issue.
BleepingComputer has reached out to Acura and Honda to learn more about the bug and how they plan on fixing it but have not heard back.
