Component:
Electronic stability control
Manufactured:
05/22/2011 - 06/28/2012
Affected:
91,920
Defect:
Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 honda fit sport vehicles manufactured from may 23, 2011, through march 22, 2013, and model year 2012-2013 honda fit base vehicles manufactured from june 27, 2011, through april 19, 2013. in april 2013, honda recalled 43,782 2012-2013 honda fit sport vehicles. in july 2013, honda informed the agency that it was adding model year 2012-2013 honda fit vehicles in base trim to the recall campaign, representing an additional 48,138 vehicles. the total number of vehicles being recalled is now 91,920. the electronic stability control system of the affected vehicles may allow excessive yaw rates at high steering angles with certain tires. thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of federal vehicle motor safety standard no. 126, "electronic stability control systems."
Consequence:
Excessive yaw rates prevent the proper function of the electronic stability control (esc) system, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Honda will notify owners and dealers will update the esc software free of charge. the safety recall began on august 1, 2013. owners may contact honda automobile customer service at 1-800-999-1009. honda's recall campaign number is s99.
