Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Honda is recalling certain 2013-2015 Acura ILX, 2013 Acura ILX Hybrid, 2012 Honda Civic Hybrid, and 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles with manual transmissions, as well as 2009-2013 Honda Fit vehicles originally sold or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, and Wisconsin. The recall addresses a defect in the drive shafts' protective coating that may not have been applied properly during manufacturing, making them susceptible to damage from road salt and other contaminants that could cause the shaft to break.
A broken drive shaft can cause sudden loss of drive power and potentially allow the vehicle to roll away if the parking brake is not engaged, increasing the risk of a crash or injury. Honda notified owners with an interim letter mailed February 2, 2021, and will send a second letter once the remedy becomes available. Dealers will inspect the drive shafts and replace either the left or right drive shaft if necessary at no charge. Owners may contact Honda customer service at 1-888-234-2138 with questions, referencing recall numbers P9M, PAV, BAY, TAX, CA0, or MAZ.
