No, none of them were recalled. The Fit is a runaway hit for Honda (Jazz in Europe).
I like 'em. But don't buy one yet. 2009 model year is already getting a re-design, so no need buying the current model. There is also word that the new one actually gets engine choices including a hybrid...and better yet a DIESEL! The new Accord diesel coming out gets 54 MPG out of a 2.2. With a diesel 1.5 in the Fit...mileage could be up to 65-70.

The Fit is not a car, it's transportation. Besides, it's too late in the game to worry about getting a new car to save fuel. Who wants their last car to be a subcompact?
Try doing the speed limit, taking off easier from a stop, slowing down gradually when you know you're coming to a stop, overinflating your tires, combining your errands into one trip, shutting the air conditioner, and eliminating unnecessary driving. Basically, you have to take all the fun out of driving in order to save fuel.
Buying a B-segment subcompact is the same as paying somebody to take all the fun out of driving for you; do it yourself and save some money. Besides, it's nice to have some power in reserve when you're driving, just in case you actually need it. A subcompact has nothing in reserve, it's always driving at its limits.

I doubt a fit is quicker than a 4 cylinder s10, even though that's just like saying which of the two turtles is faster
honestly if you're in the new car market just for the sake of saving money on gas then don't waste your time, it will take YEARS to even get close to offsetting the cost and then you have a vehicle that is worth much less than the day it rode off the showroom floor

2008 Honda FIT Recall
"US: Airbag-related recall for the Honda Fit
By Glenn Brooks
23 January, 2008
Source: Automotive World
American Honda is recalling 34,300 examples of the 2007 and 2008 model year Fit subcompact to replace a faulty wiring harness.
The possible fault concerns a sensor that keeps the airbags from deploying when a child occupies the front passenger seat."
Here are some other Honda recalls, yep that's right...even mighty Honda has recalls.
