HONDA INSIGHT Recalls

The Honda Insight has 5 recalls spanning the 2001–2021 model years, with the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator defect on 2009–2013 models where the inflator can rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death. On 2020–2021 models, the DC-DC converter can shut down and stop recharging the 12-volt battery, which can cause a loss of drive power while the vehicle is moving. There are also two airbag-related recalls affecting different year ranges: on 2010–2013 models, an incorrectly installed passenger frontal airbag inflator can fail to deploy properly in a crash, reducing protection for the front passenger. Going back to the very beginning of the production run, the 2001 model year has a passenger airbag module with a weld that may not hold, which can also prevent the airbag from deploying in a collision and leave the front passenger without protection.
