Known issues on the 2013 Insight. Six recalls are on federal record for this model year, and all six trace back to the frontal air bag inflators. Five involve driver- or passenger-side inflator modules that can explode under long-term humidity and temperature exposure, sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants and risking serious injury or death; the sixth covers a passenger-side inflator that may have been installed incorrectly during a prior repair, which can keep the air bag from deploying properly in a crash. Owners have filed 45 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged for it. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures for the air bag system, and everything else on the car, are here.
Whether you're verifying an air bag inflator replacement or working through routine hybrid-system service, it keeps you on Honda's own specification for your specific 2013 Insight.
