Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2015 Honda Fit represents the first model year of the second generation, and the data reveals a pronounced quality cliff between the prior generation's final year (2013 at 175 complaints) and 2015's spike to 280 complaints—the highest in this generation. Notably, recalls dropped to just 4 in 2015 compared to 10 in 2013, yet TSBs surged to 139 (versus 50 in 2013), suggesting Honda addressed many issues through dealer service bulletins rather than formal recalls. The top complaint areas were Electrical System (79) and Power Train (28), with 12 crash-related complaints and 1 fire complaint. By 2016, complaints plummeted to 117 and continued falling to just 42 in 2017, indicating the 2015 model year suffered from significant teething problems that were largely resolved in subsequent model years. The 2015 Fit is the clear outlier in this generation, and while the high TSB count suggests many issues were addressed, the complaint spike makes it the least desirable model year to target.
