Owners of some 2015 Honda Fit vehicles will be contacted by the automobile manufacturer to return their vehicles to an approved dealer to have the A-pillar interior cover inspected. During assembly, it is possible that the A-pillar interior cover designed for vehicles without side curtain airbags may have been installed on vehicles that have side curtain airbags. The incorrect cover could alter the performance of the airbag, increasing the risk of injury during an accident.
Dealers will inspect and replace the cover as necessary. Owners wanting more information about the airbag problem can contact Honda customer service at 1-800-999-1009. Honda’s number for this recall is JF9 and the NHTSA campaign number is 14V-563.
