What Happened
Your 2015 Honda Fit might have a faulty A-pillar cover that's meant for cars without side curtain airbags. This means the airbag system won't work as intended in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a crash severe enough to deploy the side curtain airbags, the wrong A-pillar cover could make the bags less effective, increasing the risk of injury to you and your passengers.
Free Fix
Honda will send you a notification and fix the issue for free by installing the correct A-pillar cover. You'll get this done at a dealership, and it's on Honda, not you.
