Buying a used 2019 Honda Insight? Check these 8 recalls first
The 2019 Honda Insight has 8 recalls in this group. Repeated fuel pump entries accompany recalls for airbag deployment failure, unintended passenger airbag deployment, seat belt buckle latching, software that may disable key systems, and backup camera display failure. Its 97 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports. Listed areas include forward collision avoidance with 17 reports and fuel system and gasoline with 15 each. Those fuel categories should not be interpreted as 30 separate incidents.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific completion of all 8 recalls, including fuel pump campaigns.
- Request airbag, seat belt buckle, and software recall repair records.
- Check backup camera operation and ask about collision-avoidance malfunctions.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Honda dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
