Product Update:
Accord Hatchback Rear Window Defogger
PROBLEM
Deterioration of the defogger buss bar causes hot spots on the hatchback glass which may result in the glass breaking.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Install a new buss bar on each side of the rear window glass. If the window has been replaced, inspect the buss bars to make sure the window is the
updated type: When viewed from the outside, the buss bars of the old style window are covered by the window weatherstripping; on the updated window,
the buss bars are inboard of the weatherstripping and are completely visible.
CUSTOMER NOTIFICATION
All owners of affected cars will be notified by mail. Owners will be asked to contact their nearest Honda dealer for installation of the new buss bars. See
text of customer letter on page 4.
Customers who have paid to have their rear window replaced may be eligible for reimbursement. Have them mail a copy of their repair bill with a
completed Request for Reimbursement Form by August 15, 1984. Additional Request for Reimbursement Forms are available from your Zone Office.
