Known issues on the 2016 Fit. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering LX-trim vehicles built without a sunroof between April 11, 2014 and July 2, 2015: the rear grab handle brackets were manufactured incorrectly, and on deployment they can puncture the side curtain air bags, raising injury risk for outboard occupants in a crash.
