Known issues on the 2001 Insight. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the front passenger air bag module: some units were not properly welded and may fail to deploy in a collision, leaving the occupant unprotected in a crash. The second covers the headlight wiring: the low-beam terminal on the head light wire harness can overheat, causing an unexpected loss of low beams that could result in a crash. Owners have filed 27 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting the air bag module or tracing a headlight wiring fault, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your specific 2001 Insight.
