Product Update: 2015-16 Fit and 2016 HR-V Door Handle Bracket
Today, December 22, 2015, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. is announcing two product updates for 84,138 units of the
2015-16 Fit & 16,019 units of the 2016 HR-V vehicles to inspect the inner door handle brackets for corrosion.
Basic Problem
Non-galvanized door handle brackets were installed in the occupant doors during manufacturing and may be
susceptible to corrosion. The Fit model has all occupants' doors (four) affected; the HR-V model only has the front
passenger side door affected.
The Repair
Inspect the respective occupant's inner door for corrosion around the door handle, and if found, repair and protect the
door from further corrosion. Replace door handle brackets with new countermeasure parts and protect for corrosion.
Service Bulletin
Service bulletins 15-088, Product Update: 2015-16 Fit Door Handle Bracket and 15-090, Product Update: 2016 HR-V
Front Passenger's Door Handle Bracket have been posted to the Service Information System today in support of this
campaign. It includes parts, warranty and repair procedure information related to this product update.
Parts Information
For the HR-V repair, required part 06721-T?W-A00 will be available through controlled parts order; a valid, affected VIN
will be required to obtain a door handle bracket kit. Some repairs, for both Fit and HR-V, will require a rust remover. One
can of 08732-9020, which can repair 35 vehicles, has been allocated to every dealer. This part is now being controlled
and if you require an additional can, you will need to contact your facing Part Center to request a part.
Client Notification
American Honda expects to notify owners of affected vehicles by the end of January 2016.
As always, please make sure to check iN VIN status to determine if a particular vehicle is eligible for this product update.
