Details

What's wrong: American Honda motor Co. (Honda) is recalling certain model year 2015 Honda Fit vehicles manufactured April 11, 2014, to June 9, 2014. The affected vehicles may have been assembled with an a-pillar interior cover designed for vehicles without side curtain air bags.

Why it matters: The affected vehicles are equipped with side curtain air bags and in the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the side curtain air bags, the incorrect a-pillar interior cover may adversely affect the performance of the side curtain air bags increasing the risk of occupant injury.

The fix: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the a-pillar interior cover and install the correct a-pillar cover, as necessary, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on September 25, 2014.
