This thread is in french, but you could use a translator in English, it seems that it could be an important issue. I already asked Honda Canada concerning this flaw, awaiting reply, also keep checking on this RPM tv program on vehicles and a site in Quebec on electric vehicle only,

Oh, thanks for the heads-up! I saw it was in French, but I figured I'd give a translator a try since it sounded like a big deal. I'll definitely check out that RPM TV program and the Quebec EV site too. It's good to know you've already contacted Honda Canada hopefully they get back to you soon with some answers. Keep me posted if you hear anything! It's definitely worth keeping an eye on this, especially if it's a widespread issue
 
Wow, I just read the article and can't believe GM would place this part in the battery when it can so easily be set off with a small accident. I just read Honda Body Reapir News and it says "In addition to the opening of the high-voltage contactor relays, a single-use pyro-fuse will be activated whenever thesupplemental inflatable restraint system is deployed. An activated pyro-fuse will inhibit high-voltage current flow out of thebattery pack to the under-hood components. Once activated, it cannot be reset and the high-voltage battery assembly must be replaced."
