I reported the defect to Honda but they said they don't replace windshields, and referred me to a 3rd party to pay the repair out of pocket. …”
NHTSA complaint #11495460, filed 2022-11“Regarding NHTSA Recall Number 23V-174 Honda Campaign Number: FE5 Service Bulletin Number: 23-035 On May 1st, 2023, we dropped off our vehicle for service at Rick Roush Honda in Medina, Ohio for the recall noted above.
