Buying a used 2020 Honda FIT? Check these 4 recalls first
Unlike the 2018 and 2019 Fit, no fuel pump recall is listed for 2020. Both high-severity recalls instead involve the passenger seat sensor — one for cracking that creates airbag risk, one for unintended airbag deployment — alongside the two backup camera recalls. Complaint volume is far lower at 36 unverified owner reports, with 1 crash and 1 injury and no fires. Those reports spread across forward collision avoidance, electrical, unclassified and engine with no dominant area.
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.
- Confirm both passenger seat sensor recalls are closed by VIN
- Watch the passenger airbag on/off indicator with someone seated
- Verify the backup camera displays reliably on every reverse shift
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
