Common problems with the Honda Insight

Some problems will only occur after many years of operation, others are related to technical solutions and forced the manufacturer to issue a recall. In the following overview, you will find the most common problems for the Honda Insight, for which Honda has announced a recall through the EU Rapex system. For recalls and faults found in the UK scroll down.

If the problem is corrected in time, it may not affect the overall reliability of your Honda Insight. However, the fault can often remain unresolved because the previous owner didn´t know about the recall or ignored the manufacturer’s letter.
