“The incorrect A-pillar interior cover may adversely affect the performance of the side curtain air bags increasing the risk of occupant injury,” NHTSA said in an emailed bulletin.

Dealers will install the correct cover, if necessary, free of charge in a recall expected to begin on 25 September.

Production for NAFTA markets shifted from Japan to a new plant in Mexico with the launch of the redesigned Fit earlier this year.
