What This Recall Means

Component

STRUCTURE

What Happened
The rear grab handle brackets in your Fit are the metal parts that attach to the doors. In some 2015-2016 models, these brackets might be too weak and could poke a hole in the side airbags when they deploy.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbags get poked during a crash, you and your passengers in the outer seats might be more likely to get hurt.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Honda dealer will swap out the weak brackets for sturdier ones, and this repair is completely free. You'll be notified when it's time to schedule the fix.
