Known issues

Medium

Honda announced a product update in October 2014 for all 2010-2012 Insights and 2011-2012 CR-Zs. The IMA battery control software could let the battery develop a memory effect that cut its capacity and set fault code P0A7F early. Dealers update the battery control unit software. Honda told dealers the effect causes no permanent degradation, and its service bulletin says the normal warranty applies. The 2013 and 2014 cars are not named.
