Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

Driveshaft defects may cause sudden loss of drive power or unexpected vehicle movement, while air bag inflator defects may send metal fragments into the cabin or prevent proper deployment during a crash. An electronic stability control software issue may also limit the system’s ability to respond to excessive yaw. These risks may not produce an obvious warning before a dangerous event occurs. Waiting can leave an unresolved safety condition on the road, especially when a vehicle’s repair history is uncertain. A VIN check at Hare Honda helps determine whether your 2013 Honda Fit needs one of the free remedies identified by NHTSA.
