Honda Fit Sport Recalled for Stability Control Issue
Honda is recalling nearly 46,000 Fit Sport models from the 2012-2013 model years to repair a problem with the sub-compact’s electronic stability control system.
According to the Japanese automaker, the stability control system in the affected vehicles may let the car tilt too far before it applies the brakes to prevent a crash. The issue was discovered during government testing of models with a particular set of tires. Honda has not received any reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue.
The Japanese automaker will notify affected owners in mid-May and they can take their vehicles to dealerships to have the system’s software updated free of charge.
