When i bought my honda civic, the blue color was one of the reasons i chose it. Had i known the paint job was going to fade after only 4 years, i probably would've chosen a different color or even a different make. Is there a recall for this problem?. *jb

Honda has a tsb about it, since a lot of people have the same issue but they only claim to take responsibility of the vehicle that have protection plan. When i bought the vehicle they never offered me, nor speak of protection plan. So what can i do? *tr
