Stupid Question? Do recalls on American built Fits apply to Fits made in Japan. My 2013 Fit door sticker says made in Japan??

 

They may. Depends on what's not working and where the parts connected to that come from. It may be tied to a local supplier or just one batch of parts or an assembly issue jn one location or the other. btw, "American built" Fits are manufactured in Mexico. Recalls will either list VINs or specific models or otherwise restrict which cars are affected.

 

I'm guessing, but I would say that NHTSA monitors all vehicles in the U.S. market, so I'm going to further guess and say that the country of manufacture is not the issue.

 

Every 2013 Fit sold in the US was built in Japan.

 

Honda typically has regional recalls. Some campaigns apply only to vehicles manufactured in the US, while others extend to Japan, Mexico, or global markets. Therefore, it's best to check the vin number window sticker lookup at https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker to find out exactly which recalls apply to your vehicle and what factory equipment it originally had.L

 

Exactly. The major complaint when the third-generation Fit was introduced to North America (2015) was that production moved to Mexico.

 

What about the Honda Jazz?
It is a Fit, produced in the UK, according to the sticker in th car, but left hand driving an sold in the Netherlands?
