GM Recalls Buicks, GMCs, Saturns to Fix Wipers

ConsumerAffaris.com -- August 28, 2008 -- Honda is recalling 34,300 Fit subcompacts from the 2007 and 2008 model years because of a faulty wiring harness connected to the passenger side airbag sensor.
The sensor is designed to prevent the airbags from deploying when a child is seated in the front passenger seat.
Honda will replace the wiring harness.
The recall covers Fits that were sold or registered in 22 U.S. states that use road salt, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
"Salt from the snow on the driver's shoes will melt and may penetrate the carpet and leak into the wire harness," NHTSA reported. "Corrosion may occur and the wire may break, causing the SRS indicator light to illuminate."
A short-circuit, according to NHTSA can cause the front and side airbags to deploy in a crash, even if a child is in the seat.
This "will increase the risk of injury to small or out-of-position occupants," NHTSA reported on its Web site.
The recall covers Honda Fits sold or registered in these states: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
