There still seems to be some sporadic confusion throughout the forum as to the application of this warranty extension and just what gets replaced (varies by state of vehicle registration). Also there is a new mileage extension for _some_ model years. Google up the particulars if your interested.
Summary of the IMA battery Warranry Extension follows:
Because of a class action settlement, the warranty extension coverage for the IMA battery module on
2002–04 Insights purchased or leased between April 13, 2002, and November 7, 2006, is now 10 years or
157,500 miles, whichever occurs first.
00-01 Insights remain at the previous
10 year 150,000 limits.
And remember
05-06's were never extended beyond the original 8 year 80,000 limits, presumably because they already have the updated components blaimed for premature failures.
All 2000–2004 Insights registered in the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Nevada, and Texas get the IMA battery module ONLY if it fails. (No, I don't know why there is this difference)
ALL other States:
Replace the IMA battery module if it has failed. In addition, replace the battery condition monitor and the motor control module on 2000–01 models or, on 2002–04 models, replace the battery condition monitor only.
2000–01 Insight With M/T
IMA Battery Module
BCM, and an MCM
2001 Insight With CVT
IMA Battery Module, BCM, and an MCM
All 2002–04 Insights
IMA Battery Module and BCM ONLY
05 & 06's are NOT covered under this extension.
IIRC there is a similar extension for CANADA, but I don't remember the particulars. However, I'm sure U.S. law doesn't apply and the "new" 157,500 mileage limit would not apply.
AFAIK the rest of the world has the original 8/80,000 limits.
HTH!
