Some Honda Fit cars in Bermuda are being recalled due to an issue with airbag inflators.

According to the Department of Consumer Affairs, Takata Corporation announced the real of several brands of car on May 19, including the 2002 and 2004 models of the Honda Fit.

“The recall covers several types of driver and passenger side inflators manufactured by Takata,” a spokeswoman said. “The performance of some inflators could be affected by long-term exposure over several years to persistent high humidity, potentially in combination with other factors, including manufacturing issues. Under certain circumstances these factors can result in the over-aggressive deployment of some inflators.”

Consumer Affairs, in partnership with local car distributors, have undertaken the necessary recall procedures for identifying any recalled vehicle in Bermuda. After an exhaustive joint investigation it was found that 106 cars with these inflators were sold in Bermuda — 73 Honda Fit 2002 and 33 Honda Fit 2004 models.

“The car retailer involved, Auto Solutions, has been very proactive in this recall,” the spokeswoman continued. “They have ordered replacement parts and contacted car owners by letter arranging for immediate repairs. So far fourteen of the cars have been repaired.

“Consumer Affairs and Auto Solutions are concerned that, due the age of these vehicles, owners may no longer be at the address that is on file, may no longer own the vehicle or may not have their vehicles serviced with Auto Solutions which could result in outdated owner contact information. Those owners who fall into any of those situations are asked to call Auto Solutions at 295-5000.

“Consumer Affairs would like to take this opportunity to thank the car dealerships for their partnership in this recall matter.”
