Honda FIT in the other registers
This site holds seven national and European registers. Honda FIT is named on 12 American notices, 1 British and 1 European. Those are separate campaigns, filed with separate authorities on their own schedules.
The American register
The British register
The European register
Nothing here says any of these is this notice in another country. A model recalled in one country is often recalled in another, in different words and at a different time, and the authorities do not cross-reference each other. Reading them together is the reason this site holds more than one register.

On certain vehicles, under severe conditions water may enter the driver's window and reach the master power window switch. If the master power switch is damaged as a result of water intrusion it may result in a failure of the switch and overheating. An overheating switch can cause smoke, melting and fire which could result in property damage and personal injury. Correction: Dealers will install an external cover to prevent water from entering the switch. Damaged switches will be replaced and cover installed. Note: This recall is superseded by recall 2013216.
The wording above is the department's own, as it stood in the monthly file this site last read. Vehicle counts are the sum of the counts published for each make and model the recall covers. To act on a recall, use the official notice: Transport Canada recall 2010025.

Reading this against the source
This page is what Transport Canada published in the Vehicle Recalls Database, kept as it was read. The authority publishes only its current wording; if a notice is rewritten, the earlier version disappears there and is kept here. The whole register is at /canada, and how the reading is done is set out in the method.
What the words on this notice mean — the system it is filed under, and what the filing type says about who found the fault.
This notice names one vehicle among several registers that have written about it. Every notice this site holds for the Honda Fit, in all seven, is kept on that vehicle's own page, with the newest in each.
This register keeps an index of its own for every maker and every year it holds: Canadian recalls on a Honda: 362 in the register, and 468 Canadian vehicle recalls filed in 2010.
