Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.
The 2019 Honda Fit recorded 134 complaints, which is higher than the low of 42 complaints in 2017 and the 114 in 2018 but far below the peak of 369 complaints in 2007 and the 280 in 2015. Its 6 recalls place it between the 4 recalls seen in 2018 and 2020 and the higher recall totals typical of the early‑generation years (often 10‑12). Investigations were zero in 2019, matching the pattern of most years after 2011 except for occasional single investigations in 2012, 2013, and 2015‑2017. Overall, the federal record shows a declining complaint trend from the first generation through the second, with a modest uptick in 2018‑2019 followed by a sharp drop to 35 complaints in 2020. Given that 2019’s complaint and recall figures are well below the early‑generation highs and comparable to the surrounding years, it represents a relatively low‑risk model year for a used purchase, assuming other condition factors are acceptable.
