Honda Fits from 2007, 2008 recalled for headlight problem

Honda is recalling more than 143,000 Fit cars from the 2007-08 model years in the United States for defective headlights.

Potential low-beam headlight failure stems from a wiring defect that could cause connectors to overheat and fail.

Honda will start notifying U.S. owners about vehicle repairs in January. Honda will fix the wiring or replace the headlight switch if needed. High-beam headlight function is not affected, and no accidents from the issue have been reported.
