The 2001 Honda Insight has 2 recalls, both concerning the same defect: the passenger airbag module may not deploy in a crash, leaving the front passenger without proper protection.
The airbag housing was not correctly welded during production, which can prevent the bag from firing when needed. In a collision where the airbag should deploy, it may fail to do so, increasing the risk of injury to the passenger seat occupant.
