Honda Motor Co. Ltd. (HMC) announced that it will voluntarily recall 43,782 model year 2012-2013 Fit Sport vehicles in the U.S. to update the vehicle stability assist system software, free of charge.

The company said that the vehicle stability assist system on certain 2012-2013 model year Honda Fit Sport vehicles equipped with certain tires may allow yaw rates that exceed certain U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements.

Similarly, Honda Canada also announced that it will voluntarily recall about 2,000 model-year 2012-2013 Fit Sport vehicles in Canada to update the vehicle stability assist system software, free of charge. The vehicle stability assist system on certain 2012-2013 model year Honda Fit Sport vehicles equipped with certain tires may allow the tires to lose traction and the vehicle to skid under certain test maneuvers, resulting in yaw rates that exceed certain Canadian Motor Vehicle Safety Standards requirements.

The company said it discovered the problem in the U.S. and Canada during compliance testing with federal regulations, and it is not aware of any related crashes or injuries.

The company plans to mail notice to customers in May, 2013.
