Govt Opens Probe Of Headlights On Honda Fit

The federal government has begun a safety investigation into the Honda Fit subcompact.  So far, the government has had eight complaints that the low-beam headlights on the Fit can just stop working.

Several of the consumers who complained said they had a wiring harness connector and a headlight switch replaced as a repair.

The preliminary investigation involves 133,000 Honda Fit vehicles from the 2007-2008 model years. Honda said  it's cooperating with the government's investigation.
   
Vehicle defect investigations sometimes lead to recalls.
