Honda has extended the warranty on paint.

Like the Title said, on some of the 8th Gen's (06-07 I think). I know NHBP, not sure what other colors, is warrantied for the front fenders/hood, and depending on your service adviser the roof.
The reason for this extension is the infamous crow's feet... now if only they would do it for 3rd gear. Moral of the story, if you're having Crow feet issues with your car and have not received a letter, head into the dealership and talk to a service adviser

Re: Honda has extended the warranty on paint.

yeah got the letter telling me about the extended warranty and decided to bring my car to Nelson Honda in El Monte, CA. They preferred me to Fix Auto El Monte Body Shop, and i got my roof and hood painted due to sun spots and cracking. The work was excellent! Best part about it was that Nelson Honda paid for it all haha Name:  image001.png

Re: Honda has extended the warranty on paint.

Does anyone have a pic of what this crow's feet issue looks like? Doesn't the rest of the car's paint job look off if they only repaint the hood and roof?

Re: Honda has extended the warranty on paint.

I have this on the hood on my "07 Civic. I was thinking of trying some rubbing compound on it. Guess I'll try to talk to the dealer, but with 190k miles on it I'm thinking they might not do anything about it

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Warranty was extended to 7 years from date of original purchase with no mileage limit.

There are other limitations too (original paint, valid VIN report, etc..), your dealer has to do some checking on your car in person.


Hurry!

More info:

Check the info in your letter
Quote:
"If this extended warranty has already expired based on
the original date of purchase, American Honda is
further extending the warranty 6 months from the
mailing date of the notification letter.
"

So check the date on your letter!

EDIT: Damn I can't read. You did NOT get a letter........You are not the original owner? IDK what next.
