Honda bulletin ATI&10072025901

What it saysDealer Message - American Honda Motor Co., Inc. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Honda filed this with NHTSA as a manufacturer communication dated Oct 8, 2025, received Oct 14, 2025, about the visibility/wiper. It names 13 model years (2022–2026). A manufacturer communication is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What owners reported

Source: NHTSA complaint database

Owners of the 13 model years this bulletin names have filed 4,040 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 586 of them name Visibility/Wiper — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.

On the 2023 Honda HR-V, the 60 owners who gave an odometer reading for Visibility/Wiper reported it at a median of 13,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

I have reduced visibility due to the fact the windshield washer spray is not directed at the middle of the windshield. Because of the design of the washer nozzle being part of the wiper arm, the spray does not dispurse on the windshield until the arm of the wiper is in a vertical position near the edge of the driver side window, hence…

The back windshield spontaneously exploded while driving on the highway. There was no accident or damage leading up to the explosion and the car is under a year old. Glass was found in second row seating as well as the trunk. If there was a passenger in the back seat, they would have been impaled with glass resulting in injury.

Driver Side mirror vibration. From Day 1 of the vehicle purchase i am seeing that the driver side mirror vibrates at higher speeds and on rough roads causing a distorted view. This is very risky to driver and unable to clearly gauge the distance of the car behind me because of the vibration.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Honda ATI&10072025901 a recall?

No. A manufacturer communication is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the ATI&10072025901 repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way. Every Honda warranty extension on file lists the ones Honda has filed.

Which vehicles does ATI&10072025901 cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 13 model years: 2026 Honda CR-V, 2025 Honda CR-V, 2024 Honda CR-V, 2023 Honda CR-V, 2026 Honda Civic, 2025 Honda Civic and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
