What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a safety component (air bags) where a defect increases the risk of occupant injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities have been reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

American Honda Motor Co. is recalling certain model year 2015 Honda Fit vehicles manufactured between April 11, 2014, and June 9, 2014. The recall involves 6,292 vehicles that may have been assembled with an A-pillar interior cover designed for vehicles without side curtain air bags.

The affected vehicles are equipped with side curtain air bags. In the event of a crash that necessitates the deployment of these air bags, the incorrect A-pillar interior cover may adversely affect their performance, thereby increasing the risk of occupant injury.

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