Recall 10V624 affects 143,083 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles for low-beam headlight wiring wear. Repair is free at any franchised Honda dealer.
Honda recalled 143,083 2007-2008 Fit vehicles under recall 10V624 because tension in the low-beam headlight wiring can wear the connector terminal. The low beams can stop working, reducing the driver's visibility and the vehicle's visibility to other drivers, and the Honda dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The combination switch in the 2007-2008 Honda Fit controls the low beam headlights when the driver turns the headlight switch. Its wiring harness carries electrical current from the switch to the low beam circuit, so the headlights turn on and stay on when selected. The connector terminals inside that circuit need steady contact to carry current cleanly.
On affected Fits, the wiring harness was installed with the low beam wires pulled tighter than intended. Each time the headlight switch is used, that tension works against the electrical connector terminal. Over repeated use, the terminal wears, contact quality drops, and copper oxide builds up around the contacts. That buildup interferes with conductivity in the low beam circuit, so the low beam headlights stop receiving the current they need.
There is no warning sign before failure. The first sign is the low beams no longer working when selected.
Who's affected?
Both listed model years share the same high/low beam dimmer switch component.

The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific hatchback is included.
What's the safety risk?
If the low beam headlights stop working, the driver sees less of the road and other drivers see the Fit less clearly. That increases the risk of a crash. Have the low beams checked before night driving and contact a Honda dealer for the recall path. Repair will be free at any franchised Honda dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2008 Honda Fit is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the free low-beam terminal inspection and repair that fixes the headlight connector wear.
- Bring the recall notice if Honda mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V624 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete, especially at night or in low-visibility conditions.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Honda technician inspects the low beam terminal in the combination switch wiring harness and makes the necessary electrical repairs at no charge. The inspection focuses on the connector terminal for the low beam headlight circuit, where tight wiring from the original harness installation can wear the terminal after repeated headlight switch use. That wear can reduce conductivity at the contacts. The recall record says the safety recall began on January 24, 2011. Parts and labor for the recall repair are covered once the dealer remedy is available.

Frequently asked questions
What is recall 10V624?
Recall 10V624 covers 143,083 2007-2008 Honda Fit vehicles with low beam headlight wiring that was pulled tighter than intended during installation. Repeated headlight switch use can wear the connector terminal, reduce conductivity, and cause the low beam headlights to stop working.
What should I do if my 2007-2008 Honda Fit is on this recall?
Check your VIN to confirm your specific Fit is included in recall 10V624. If it is, contact a franchised Honda dealer to schedule the low beam terminal inspection and needed repair. Reference recall number 10V624 when you call.
Is the recall repair free?
Yes. Federal recall law requires Honda to repair the defect at no cost, and Honda dealers will inspect the low beam terminal and perform needed repairs free of charge. Honda began the safety recall on January 24, 2011.
What is the safety risk?
The low beam headlights can become inoperative, reducing what the driver can see and making the vehicle harder for other drivers to see. That loss of visibility increases crash risk. If your VIN is included, schedule the free Honda dealer repair.
What if I bought my Honda Fit used?
The free recall repair still applies. Recall coverage follows the vehicle, not the first owner. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific 2007-2008 Honda Fit is included, then contact a franchised Honda dealer with recall number 10V624.
