The 2010 Honda Insight has 10 recalls, all involving the frontal airbags, with the most serious being a defect in both the driver and passenger airbag inflators that can cause them to rupture and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death.
The remaining recalls stem from a related but separate concern: passenger-side airbag inflators that were replaced at dealerships may have been installed incorrectly, meaning the airbag can fail to deploy properly in a crash. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve this issue, which is why multiple recalls address the same incorrect-installation problem across overlapping groups of vehicles. All 10 recalls center on the airbag system, so if this vehicle has not been serviced under these campaigns, the airbag system may not perform as intended in a collision.
