The 2010 Honda Fit’s three-year, 36,000-mile Basic Warranty began on the original delivery or lease date. This warranty covered free repairs or replacements of defective components. It didn’t cover parts that needed replacing due to wear or tear, neglect, or collisions. This warranty has expired.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The Rust Perforation Limited Warranty for the 2010 Honda Fit was a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty. While it has expired, it entitled the original owner to repairs or replacement of any rusted-through panels. It didn’t cover surface rust or rust caused by neglect, collisions, or weather.

The 2010 Honda Fit has a 15-year, 150,000-mile warranty for its seat belts. If it has traveled less than 150,000 miles, you can still claim for seat belt faults, regardless of whether you’re the original owner. Honda will pay for new seat belts and installation to correct a manufacturer’s defect.
