Certain (none sport model) 2012-2013 Fits have been recalled to flash the VSA software. The notice is dated August 2013 & I just received mine.

Yep, just got the paper as well. Guess I will be scheduling a time to get that done along with my upcoming oil change/tire rotation.

My 2012 Fit sport was recalled for the vehicle stability assist system in May 2013. I brought it in right away and they connected it to the Honda computer and updated the "VSA modulator control unit software update". It took about a half hour to do this. I have the paperwork on this if anybody has any questions.

Honda is recalling certain model year 2012-2013 Honda Fit Sport vehicles manufactured from May 23, 2011, through March 22, 2013, and model year 2012-2013 Honda Fit base vehicles manufactured from June 27, 2011, through April 19, 2013. In April 2013, Honda recalled 43,782 2012-2013 Honda Fit Sport vehicles. In July 2013, Honda informed the agency that it was adding model year 2012-2013 Honda Fit vehicles in base trim to the recall campaign, representing an additional 48,138 vehicles. The total number of vehicles being recalled is now 91,920. The electronic stability control system of the affected vehicles may allow excessive yaw rates at high steering angles with certain tires. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to the requirements of Federal Vehicle Motor Safety Standard No. 126, "Electronic Stability Control Systems."
