On certain vehicles, the rear grab rail brackets may not have been manufactured to design specifications. In the event of a collision, they could interfere with side curtain airbag deployment and could result in a rear-seat occupant not receiving the intended protection from the side curtain airbag, increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the rear grab rail bracket with one that has felt applied to prevent a puncture of the side curtain airbag.

On certain vehicles equipped with a CVT transmission, the drive pulley shaft could be subjected to high stress during certain operation modes. During the manufacturing of the drive pulley shaft, some parts may have been produced at the lower end of the hardness specification. If shafts with lower hardness are repeatedly subjected to the specific high pressure modes, it could result in the shaft breaking during operation. If the drive pulley shaft were to break, it could result in a loss of propulsion or the front wheels locking up while driving, which would increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install a CVT software update that contains a stress reduction program.

On certain vehicles, the plug top ignition coil (PTC) may not provide sufficient protection against electrical noise and wires inside the coil could be damaged as a result. If this occurs, the coil could overheat and melt, potentially causing the check engine light to illuminate, and/or the engine or fuel injection system to malfunction. This could result in an engine stall resulting in loss of motive power which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the plug top ignition coil (PTC) with a new PTC of a different design.

2015 Honda Fit recall questions
NHTSA lists 4 recalls for the 2015 Honda Fit model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window. Transport Canada lists 3 Canadian campaigns for the Canadian-market model, shown separately.
Enter your VIN in NHTSA's recall lookup or Honda's own, or call a Honda dealer with your VIN. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. Transport Canada campaigns cover vehicles sold in Canada. For a vehicle sold in the United States, go by the NHTSA listing and NHTSA's VIN lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Honda dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Honda's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Honda dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Honda so notices reach you, and check NHTSA's lookup from time to time.
