New poster. I am looking at a used 2007 Fit but wanted to test drive one fist. I call the local Honda Dealer last Thursday and was told they received a call from Honda that morning telling them to pull all the Fits off the lot and no one can drive them. Something about a wiring problem. Does anyone know anything about this and what the problem is and if it also involves the 2007?

 

Wow ive never heard of a 08 wiring problem?
Definetly not a 07 wiring problem. Some dealers have no idea what they are talking about, and lie. But ill keep an eye on the problem.

 

dbcmaster mentioned something about that in this thread:

I have an 08 and I am now concerned.

 

guess i wont be test driving one this weekend...

 

wowowow! are you serious!? does this exclude the 07 fits?

 

Dont belive everything you hear on the internet .

I WANT PROOF lol!

 

good point haha, i'm scared nonetheless

 

oh no this sounds like anouther "dont take your spare tire out thread". haha. im gonna have to call my dealer tomorrow and find out. this sounds kinda fishy to me but in all fairness i guess it could happen. no car manufacturer is perfect.

 

FWIW I just logged into my Honda Owner Link and checked the recall section...

"There are no current safety recalls for your 2008 Honda Fit."

If there are, corporate isn't fessin' up yet.

 

true, but they never put that airbag recall on the website either right. we'll see i guess

 

Ohhh..that sounds like it'd be a pain to fix...

 

its probabaly just a service bulletin, if there is several complaints or issues, then a recall will be issued. dont worry about anyting.

 

If my new 2008 sport catches on fire I guess I'll end up with another new one

Thats what insurance is for.

 

The bulletin won't be released until December 17th. Your vehicle won't catch on fire. However, it will cause the side air bags to either deploy prematurely or not work at all.

They are pulling the cars off the lots to fix this problem and then they'll be back. I still have to get the bulletin info. I'll email my brother-in-law today to see if I can get access to his Honda stuff.

This bulletin affects a little less than 20,000 2008 Honda Fit. Not entirely sure if it's only the Sport model or not. However, mine is listed in that recall.

 

I should have more information tonight if he remembers to get me all the info.

 

cool, thanks for the info. if he can get the affected VIN#'s, that would be excellent (but as you said, it might not be available until the TSB is published 12/17).

 

Just got a PM from my buddy that works at my local dealership. they fixed all the
inventory they had on the lot. so looks like im going to test drive one soon.

 

I received a call from the deal today that problem is fixed. I will be test driving one today!!!

 

I just recently bought a 08 Fit. I am wondering if this recall affects cars from Toronto, Canada? It arrived yesterday, they said they couldn't get the license plate # I wanted, so there's a delay.

 

Im about to go out, and where i am going i have pass right by my Honda dealership. Ill come back and tell you if i saw Fits on the lot or not.
