Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA recall information identifies four 2015 Honda Fit recalls involving the Air Bag, Transmission, and Ignition components. An improperly made rear grab handle bracket may puncture a side curtain air bag during deployment, while an incorrect A-pillar cover may affect air bag performance. A transmission software issue may damage the drive pulley shaft, potentially causing loss of acceleration or front-wheel lockup. Ignition coil wire damage may overheat the coil and stall the engine.
