Best and Worst Honda Fit Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 10 Honda Fit model years from 2010 to 2020 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 118 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2020 — 36 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2017 — 43 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2011 — 113 complaints, 11 recall campaigns

Most owner complaints

  • 2015 — 283 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2010 — 184 complaints, 12 recall campaigns
  • 2013 — 176 complaints, 10 recall campaigns, 4★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
