Yup. I posted this question a few months ago. Seems like it's common for the camera to get hot and not function properly. Do you use a window shade ? I think this exacerbates the condition. Find more shade.
 
I had this happen once a couple of summers ago when I parked the car at work facing west when the temperature was above 100 degrees. Driving for about five minutes with the AC on turned off the warning. Since then I always park at work facing east and the warning has not illuminated. After the warning extinguished the FCW and LDW worked correctly. Take the to the dealer for the random FCW warnings.
 
Per the owner's manual, drive for a few minutes with the AC coming out the defroster vents and it should cool down pretty quick and begin functioning properly. I've had it happen a few times recently as we've had a huge bout of hot-hot-hot weather. Proper function always returns after it cools off. No hope to find any shade where I work. If you use a sun shade, just make sure the shade doesn't get behind the camera housing and reflect even more sunlight onto the enclosure. Best bet is to get a custom fit shade that fits snuggly around the enclosure without concentrating any additional light onto it.
 
my 2014 Odyssey EX-L did that this Sunday temp showed 112 degrees. got to love Houston Texas.
After it cool down a bit it was back to normal.
