Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Safety Comes First

NHTSA's eight air-bag recalls for the 2012 Honda Insight involve driver and passenger frontal inflators and air-bag assemblies. Some inflators may rupture or explode, potentially sending sharp metal fragments toward occupants during a crash. Other recalls address replacement inflators that may have been installed incorrectly, creating a risk that the passenger air bag could deploy improperly. Because air bags are emergency safety equipment, postponing a known repair can leave you exposed when protection is needed most. Do not wait for another notice or assume an earlier repair was completed correctly. A VIN check at Coggin Honda Jacksonville can identify the applicable remedy.
