Warranty Extension: 2014-15 Accord Obsidian Blue Pearl or Fathom Blue Pearl Paint Around Rear
Today, August 29, 2019, American Honda is announcing a warranty extension for certain 2014-15 Accord
vehicles with Obsidian Blue Pearl paint to address client concerns with peeling paint around the rear

peel.

Inspect the vehicle and, if necessary, have a ProFirst Cer fied Body Shop repaint the affected panel(s)
with a tri-coat paint repair. Also, be aware that DPSM approval is needed before comple ng any work.
PARTS
