Which Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid years should you avoid?

We cover 2 model years of the Honda Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, too few to say which stand out.

NHTSA does not publish sales figures, so these are complaint counts, not a rate per car on the road. A year that sold more cars collects more complaints, and older years have had longer to collect them.
