My experience is with an Insight in good condition, and you are a non-aggressive driver - recals seldom happen.

The most likely time I'd get a recal is driving aggressive on a hot summer day (95F or 35C). The A/C is on and I'm passing cars on the freeway, then endup in gridlock. Battery already weak, the stop-and-go is the final straw on excessive use of Assist and triggers the recal.

Ironically, winter weather and aggressive driving (if conditions permit) might trigger a recal.

Obviously you don't want to do recals if you can avoid them. Best thing is to remember to brake lightly to recharge the batteries, or downshift when slowing to a stop.
