Component: VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
Manufacturer: Honda (American Honda Motor Co.)
Manufacture Dates: 02/03/2006 - 07/20/2007
Potential Units Affected: 143083
Defect Description:
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.

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.
