Safety Recall: Wrong A-Pillar Trim Is Installed
AFFECTED VEHICLES
| Year | Model | Trim | VIN Range |
| 2015 | Fit | ALL | Check the iN VIN status for eligibility |
BACKGROUND
A small number of vehicles had the wrong A-pillar trim installed during assembly, which could cause the A-pillar trim to eject into the cabin if the side curtain airbag deploys in the event of a collision.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Inspect and, if necessary, replace the left and/or right A-pillar trim.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
Owners of affected vehicles will be sent a notification of this campaign beginning in August 2014.
Do an iN VIN status inquiry to make sure the vehicle is shown as eligible.
Some vehicles affected by this campaign may be in your new or used vehicle inventory. These vehicles must be repaired before they are sold.
Should a dealership sell an unrepaired vehicle that subsequently causes an injury or damage because of the recalled item, the dealership will be solely responsible to the damaged party, and will be required to defend and indemnify American Honda for any resulting claims. To see if a vehicle in inventory is affected by this campaign, do a VIN status inquiry before selling it.
