Hi all.
Dealer replaced all damaged plastics immediately, which was great. I need to get in touch with them to see what other discussions there have been.
It was the perfect spear, so hope it doesn't happen to anyone else!
Happy holidays.

Wow I am really glad Honda is stepping up to the plate. I am sure they have a liability motivation. Hopefully they will continue to improve their machine as the years go on.

Happy to hear they fixed your machine. Hopefully they are working on a permanent fix for this.

I'm not sure what would've stopped that one.

Not saying this would have stopped it but UHMW is incredibly strong. I lined my fender wells with quarter inch thick. I would suggest a lot of people look into doing something like this to protect themselves.

If they would've done something different then the ribs for strength it wouldn't be such a runway in for the average sticks. We had two holes from sticks. I'll do something myself soon
