Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Occupant Safety

NHTSA describes six air bag recalls connected with the 2013 Honda Insight. Several involve passenger or driver frontal air bag inflators that may rupture or explode after propellant degradation, moisture intrusion, or use of an affected replacement inflator. A rupture can propel sharp metal fragments toward the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death. Another recall concerns a passenger inflator that may have been installed incorrectly, which could prevent the air bag from deploying properly during a crash. These defects may not be obvious from behind the wheel. Waiting to confirm your VIN status leaves a possible safety concern unresolved, so contact Hare Honda promptly.
