Does the Honda warranty cover windshield cracks?

I was driving down a side street when a rock flew up and cracked my brand-new Honda Accord’s windshield! My 3-year warranty is still active, but I’m worried it won’t cover this. Does the Honda warranty cover windshield cracks?

Our sympathy goes out to you and your
Honda Accord
’s windshield—what rotten luck!
Unfortunately, Honda’s 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty does not cover windshield cracks unless the damage was caused by a flaw in the windshield’s manufacturing and design. In fact, dealers may even trace the crack to find the rock’s point of impact if you try to say otherwise.
Here are some other things your
Honda
limited warranty won’t cover:
  • Damage from collisions, misuse, or acts of nature
  • Normal wear and tear
  • Repairs or replacements resulting from
    lack of maintenance
That said, if you carry
comprehensive coverage
in your car insurance policy, windshield chips and cracks caused by road debris (a non-collision force) are covered. Therefore, there is still a chance that you won’t have to foot that $500 windshield replacement bill totally on your own.
If you don’t already carry comprehensive coverage and you’d like to add it to your policy to prevent paying for future flying rocks,
