2009 HONDA FIT Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Honda Fit has 4 recalls, the most serious being a passenger-side airbag inflator that can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death. The engine also has a recurring concern involving small springs inside the VTEC variable valve timing system. These springs can bind or fracture, and in the worst case, broken spring pieces can jam the camshaft and cause the engine to stall without warning, sometimes leaving the vehicle unable to restart. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recalls address the same underlying defect.
