Honda extended the warranty on all 2015 and many 2016 Honda fit fuel injectors. 10 years 150,000 miles. I didn’t notice it on the forum so I wanted to mention it. Hope it helps someone else

 

Do you have a link? Great news, but I don't see it anywhere.

 

I found the communication on the NHTSA.gov website. Go here and select the Fuel System, Gasoline category under the Manufacturer Communications area and it should be the first one. Communication should begin going out to owners by end of March this year.

 

I lost the tsbs.
first they need to verify spark plugs and coils are working properly if there is any misfire codes. Or cat codes.
so they are going to charge you something.
seems like the dealer around here tries to get 700$ out of every one.
Diagnostic fees that they shouldn’t charge and you will need spark plugs for 130$ each…
so although it’s a warranty job, stealerships try to make as much as they can.

 

Thanks! This is good news. My 2015 is so early that I suspect it was closely monitored during assembly. Who know if that would help?

 

I don’t believe it has anything to do with the assembly. As there are injector failures with all types of direct injection in the Honda lineup. 15 and 16 was the first year in the Honda Fit. They held out as long as they could and decided to extend the warranty versus a possible class action suit from what I am told.
i’ve seen the injectors fill in as little as 15,000 miles. Drive the vehicle hard once in a while. Force the injectors to flow a lot of fuel. That will help keep them clean. The wife’s car got 135,000 before they failed. And I believe that’s pretty darn good, but when I drive it I only get 25 miles a gallon because of my leadfoot. The original serviceBulletins said nothing about improper assembly. But the note that the public reads… I guess that’s a little different. Good luck

 

i would think that anyone who has had to pay to replace the injectors on a 2015/16 Fit would be in a good position now to approach Honda corporate and ask for a refund based on this new information.

 

I just got a letter in the mail from honda for this. It had a form to fill out to get reimbursed if you paid to have it fixed. I remember mine went bad when I had less than 1000 miles left on the warranty which was a really close call lol.

 

I also just got mine today. My car is among the first 5000 made, and I think the overseers were still around. So far so good at 60k miles. Fingers crossed.

 

I received a letter in the mail today about reimbursement/extend warranty on fuel injectors. My fuel injectors were replaced 2 years ago with about 29000 miles. Repairs ran almost $2000 at a Honda dealer. Hopefully I get some of that back!

 

Just got my letter. 65k miles and no issues yet...If it's gonna happen, how about before 7/2025?

 

I hope this means full refunds for those who already had to replace them. I replaces my fuel injectors, spark plugs, and Ignition coils at 70,000 miles for $2500. I filed a complaint with Honda after seeing so many post about the four dashboard lights coming, idles, and rough starts resulting in having to have the fuel injectors replaced, and was never able to speak to anyone just received an email saying my case had been closed. Now three months later I get this letter about the warranty being extended to 150,000 miles.

 

What are issues one faces when the fuel injector does not work properly?

Even i received the letter ... but the recurring issue i have faced is the car struggling to start. I have already replaced my starter once. The issue again started happening a few months ago but then suddenly stopped. Could the fuel injector be playing a role?

 

@cyclist007 - I'm assuming you have a pushbutton start EX. I've long believed that on the pushbutton start Fits, the circuit design is inadequate to buffer the load at startup.

As a result, both the starter and start switch are prone to premature failure. Honda has recently begun to goodwill the switch, but not the starter. When one goes, it's often ascribed to the other.

The fuel injector issue has nothing to do with the starter/start switch issue.

 

I also just got this letter a couple days ago. Unfortunately I also just replaced the injectors myself about 2 weeks ago. :|

I called Honda and they said to submit everything on the reimbursement form and that everything will be reviewed but no guarantee. I'll give it a shot considering it was around $800.

 

Oddly enough, I sort of stumbled upon this information earlier today! My car has been idling rough (see another recent post here). My ex, who also has a 2015 Fit, told me she was having similar symptoms as me. I had already taken it to a local garage before hearing that not only did she have bad fuel injectors, but they were replaced for free at the dealership (same place I would take mine). So, I called the dealership and asked about this extended warranty/recall. They told me if I bring it in, there is $165 diagnostic fee. But IF they find that the parts are bad, on them, they will waive the diagnostic charge and replace the parts at no charge. I am a little bummed I didn't hear this news sooner. I would have brought my car directly to them (although, my car has been idling so rough that I didn't want to drive it, have to get to work, and their soonest appointment was 4-5 days from today).

One thing I am confused about, and maybe someone can help me here, is that the Honda recall/extended warranty list for the 2015 Fits seems to be for the ignition cores, not the fuel injectors. However, my ex/friend did say that it was the fuel injectors that were bad in her car. The lady at the dealership also kind of seemed to go back and forth btw fuel injector and ignition coil. I had to google it, but it appear that these two terms should be used interchangeably. So, which one is it? Is it the fuel injectors or the ignition coils? Or are they the "same thing" in the way that they are part of the ignition system? Sorry for the potentially dumb question. I am just confused as to what the bad parts actually are. I wanted to make sure the mechanic who has my car knew about the recall, so he could tell me whether its worth it or not to take it to the dealership after they are done with my car (the found the valves were "really dirty" and maladjusted. I don't even know if they looked at the coils or injectors, as they seemed pretty dismissive of that suggestion based on the fact that the check engine light wasn't on.

 

I just had my injectors and rail replaced under recall at 88K. The coilpacks are not included in the recall and weren't touched. So basically all four injectors and the fuel rail, nothing else except maybe a gasket or two.

 

Coils are not part of the recall as far as I could tell from the letter. I needed the fuel pipe, injectors, and throttle body gasket to complete the job. Before I did the injectors I tried spark plugs/coils but it did not fix any of the issues. Our 2015 fit mostly threw P219A, P0420, and P0300 codes.

 

I actually had my starter replaced by the dealership for free. I think it was another part in the 2015 Fits that were covered under an extended warranty. I replaced the push button myself, for about $40 and 30min of work. It would intermittently not start until pushing the button a few times. I had assumed it was the battery or alternator at first. Turned out to be the starter. But yeah..def good to know about the warranty on the ignition system stuff .

 

If you had the starter replaced under warranty after the 3/36 regular warranty expired, that's a first here.

Regarding what's covered under the injector warranty extension, this is just from February of this year:

If there is a declared warranty extension on the starters & switches, I'm not aware of it.
