Honda is recalling 91,920 model year 2012-2013 Honda Fit vehicles, including both Sport and base trim models manufactured between May 23, 2011, and April 19, 2013. The electronic stability control (ESC) system in these vehicles may malfunction and allow excessive yaw rates when the steering wheel is turned sharply with certain tires, which increases the risk of a crash and violates federal safety standards.
Honda dealers will update the ESC software in affected vehicles at no cost to owners. According to the record, owners should contact Honda automobile customer service at 1-800-999-1009 or contact their local Honda dealer for recall service. Honda's recall campaign number is S99.
