THE A PILLAR IS VERY WIDE AND CAN EASILY OBSTRUCT THE VIEW OF 1-2 PEOPLE WALKING ACROSS THE STREET. I AM A 4'11" DRIVER, WHO DRIVES SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY AND HAVE ALMOST HIT SEVERAL PEDESTRIANS WHO WERE WALKING ACROSS THE STREET AS I WAS CROSSING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION DUE TO COMPLETE VISUAL OBSTRUCTION OF THEM DUE TO THE A-PILLARS ON BOTH THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND THE PASSENGER SIDE. IF I RAISE MYSELF UP USING A CUSHION ON THE SEAT AND SUBSEQUENTLY RAISE THE STEERING WHEEL UP TO ALLOW FOR MY LEGS TO PASS UNDER IT, THEN THE STEERING WHEEL OBSTRUCTS THE VIEW OF THE SPEEDOMETER. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE EITHER A MORE ADJUSTABLE SEAT OR A CHANGE IN POSITION OF THE A PILLAR TO ALLOW FOR BETTER VISION FOR A SHORT DRIVER IN THIS CAR. UNFORTUNATELY, I THINK I'LL HAVE TO SELL THIS CAR IN ORDER TO NOT RUN THE RISK OF HITTING A PEDESTRIAN. *TR

Remedy: Honda will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the drive shafts, replacing either the left or right drive shaft, if necessary, free of charge. Owners were notified of the safety risk with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021. A second letter will be sent once the remedy is available.

Honda is re-recalling certain model year 2007-2008 Fit vehicles covered under previous recall 10V-033. The remedy applied in this earlier recall may have been insufficient.

Remedy: Honda will notify owners in July 2013 and will instruct owners to take their vehicles to dealers to have a free inspection conducted. If the switch is damaged, it will be replaced free of charge. If the switch is not damaged, the owner will be instructed to await a second notification that will instruct them to return to the dealer to have a replacement switch installed free of charge. Honda anticipates it will have sufficient parts inventory to notify owners of vehicles with undamaged switches to return to dealers for replacement switches in Fall 2013. Renotification was sent out to owners on July 23, 2014. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009. Honda's recall number is JA6.

AFTER REPEATED USE OF THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH, THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR TERMINAL FOR THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT CIRCUIT CAN BECOME WORN AS A RESULT OF THIS TENSION, WHICH CAN RESULT IN LOW CONDUCTIVITY AND CAUSE AN ACCUMULATION OF COPPER OXIDE IN THE AREA OF THE CONTACTS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS CAN BECOME INOPERATIVE DECREASING THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY AS WELL AS THE VEHICLE'S VISIBILITY TO OTHER DRIVERS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE LOW BEAM TERMINAL AND PERFORM NECESSARY REPAIRS FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JANUARY 24, 2011. OWNERS MAY CONTACT HONDA AT 1-800-999-1009.

THE WIRE HARNESS FOR THE OCCUPANT DETECTION SYSTEM (ODS) AND THE OCCUPANT POSITION DETECTION SYSTEM (OPDS) IS ROUTED UNDERNEATH THE CARPET ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE FLOORBOARD. IN AREAS WHERE ROAD SALT IS USED, SALT FROM THE SNOW ON THE DRIVER'S SHOES WILL MELT AND MAY PENETRATE THE CARPET AND LEAK INTO THE WIRE HARNESS. IF THE HARNESS IS EXPOSED TO SALT BRINE, CORROSION MAY OCCUR AND THE WIRE MAY BREAK CAUSING THE SRS INDICATOR LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE. A FAILURE OF THE ODS AND OPDS MAY NOT DETECT THE PRESENCE OF A CHILD SEAT OR AN OUT-OF-POSITION PASSENGER AND DEPLOYMENT OF BOTH THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER'S FRONTAL AND SIDE AIR BAGS WILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED.
