I own a HRV Sport 2023 and Friday December 1, 2023 I found my rear windshield shattered all of the sudden. I know by reading online that is a defect from manufacturing. The dealer where I bought my car does not want any responsability and they told me I have to pay it. This is a manufacturing defect.
