2020 HONDA INSIGHT — Complaint #2107293
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS:UNDERBODY SHIELDS filed July 7, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2107293 (ODI reference 11671578) concerns a 2020 HONDA INSIGHT and was filed on July 7, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 6, 2025. The report was geocoded to Arkansas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:frame and members:underbody shields, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same HONDA INSIGHT cohort independently describe similar structure:frame and members:underbody shields failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2020 HONDA INSIGHT shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I was driving home from vacation when my engine splash plate came loose from my car on the interstate. The splash plate fell down and dragged on highway creating friction under my car. The metal had fallen down and was chipping away creating dangerous debris to my car and other cars on the highway. Roadside service was no help, per usual. I was traveling alone. The splash plate had to be removed entirely to prevent a fire and more damage to my car. I couldnât remove the splash plate on the side of the interstate. I drove 30-40 mph to get help to prevent further damage or loss of property and my life.
