Honda InsightPege G. Had a light come on in her 1st generation Honda Insight, with over 100,000 miles.  The problem was that her battery controller was no longer operating within parameters.  Honda replaced the controller under warranty but also replaced her high voltage battery pack under warranty we assume they wanted to tear it apart and inspect how the technology handles real-world usage rather than lab tests.  This isn’t a foreign concept to the Asian manufacturers, they often buy back cars for inspection, or replace parts with brand new parts so they can get the old ones under the microscope.

I will get you more information on the 2010 Insight Second Generation (InsightII) as I get it or after any NDAs (non-disclosure agreements) expire.

A photo gallery of the process is located behind the “read more” link
