Buying a used 2018 Honda FIT? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2018 Honda Fit has 4 recalls in this group, covering fuel pump failure, unintended front passenger airbag deployment, and rearview camera display problems. Two listed recall entries concern the camera, so service records should identify the campaigns completed. Its 116 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by electrical system concerns with 34, fuel/propulsion with 30, and engine with 22. Those categories make electrical faults and engine-running symptoms relevant alongside verification of the airbag and camera remedies.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify fuel pump and passenger airbag recall completion by VIN.
- Confirm both listed camera campaigns are resolved and test the display.
- Ask about electrical faults, stalling, and fuel-system repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
