2011 Honda Fit Service and Repair Manual
This factory service and repair manual for the 2011 Honda Fit is built around the exact engine and trim lineup Honda sold that year, so the torque values, wiring routes and diagnostic steps inside are the ones written for the 1.5L L4 (L15A7) under your hood, not a generic Fit-era approximation.

Known issues on the 2011 Fit. Eleven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Ten of them cover the frontal air bag inflators, front passenger and driver side: inflators that can rupture from long-term propellant degradation and, in a crash, send metal fragments into the cabin, along with separate incidents where replacement inflators were installed incorrectly and may not deploy properly. The eleventh covers the driveshaft on manual-transmission cars, whose protective coating may not have been applied correctly, risking a broken shaft, sudden loss of drive power, or a rollaway if the parking brake isn't set. Owners have filed 113 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag inflator inspection to a manual-transmission driveshaft check or routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 Fit.
