Recall Alert: 2007-2008 Honda Fit

Honda is recalling 143,083 2007-08 Honda Fit hatchbacks over a defect with the headlights. In certain models the wiring harness for the headlight control switch can become worn out over repeated use.

As a result, the worn-out plating to the connector can overheat and fail, resulting in the loss of low-beam headlight functions and increasing the risk of an accident.

Honda will notify affected owners starting in January 2011. If needed, dealers will replace the wiring harness and headlight switch free of charge. For additional info, owners can call Honda at 800-999-1009.
