Honda will voluntarily recall approximately 6,200 model-year 2015 Fit vehicles in the United States to inspect and, if necessary, replace one or both A-pillar interior covers, free of charge. During vehicle assembly it is possible that the A-pillar interior cover designed for vehicles sold in other markets may have been installed on vehicles intended for sale in the United States. An incorrect A-pillar interior cover could alter the performance of the side curtain airbag during deployment, potentially increasing the risk of injury during a crash. No crashes or injuries have been reported related to this issue, which was discovered during quality inspections at the factory.

Honda is announcing this recall to encourage all owners that purchased an affected vehicle to take it to an authorized dealer as soon as they receive notification of this recall from Honda. Mailed notification to customers will begin Sept. 25, 2014. In addition to contacting customers by mail, at that time, owners of these vehicles will be able to determine if their vehicles require repair by going to www.recalls.honda.com or by calling (800) 999-1009, and selecting option 4.
