Rear lift gate window shattered while parked. Nothing came into contact with the vehicle or the glass before it shattered. Reached out to insurance company and was referred to Safelite. Safelite inspected the glass and crash wrapped the window. Other 2019-2021 RDX’s are experiencing the same issue hence the glass to fix it, is backordered. If I had been driving the vehicle it would have been a safety hazard. There were no warning lights or indications that the window was going to shatter.

For some unknown reason while car was in garage the rear window blew out. I have been told that this is an ongoing problem with this vehicle and manufacturer has no replacement windows available and no time frame when it can be replaced. According to glass replacement company my insurance contacted to replace our window there are hundreds of blown out windows of same vehicle also waiting on replacement glass. I think Acura should put out recall on item. Thank God our vehicle was parked and being driven at the time of occurrence. Any and all help with this matter would be greatly appreciated. I also reached out to Acura and awaiting response since now I have to probably pay months of payments and have no car to drive. Thank you again [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
