American Honda Motor Co. is recalling 97,201 model year 2009-2010 Honda Fit vehicles. There is a potential for one or more of the four spring assemblies on the engine's variable valve timing and lift electronic control (VTEC) system to fail.
A failure of the spring assemblies may cause the vehicle to stall during operation, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect and replace the spring assemblies in the engine -- if necessary -- free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before March 7, 2011. Owners may contact Honda at 1-800-999-1009.
