Official summary

Dealer Message - Today, September 29, 2020, Acura is announcing a warranty extension for certain 2016-2018 ILX vehicles with Catalina Blue Pearl or Bright Kinetic Blue Pearl paint to address client concerns with peeling paint around the front and/or rear windshield glass. Acura is extending the paint warranty coverage to 8 years/unlimited mileage.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
