Under warranty, yes.
Just had mine finally replaced since the time of the incident Jan 3rd, under warranty two weeks ago they ended up having to replace the entire mirror housing on my car. So let's hope it does a better job of holding up.

So, got off work, and to my surprise my PASSENGER side is cracked, no visual damage of someone hitting it.. I thought it'd be the same issue as yours that I've seen, but mine's passenger.. Car isn't even a month old. The fingerprints are from me, I couldn't believe it, I had to touch it.

Which brings me to my question, I know the driver side is heated, with the obvious black line through it.. is the passenger heated as well? Reading into everything, the EX has heated mirrors, so I'm assuming the passenger is as well, but I don't see a line on it like the driver side?

Also, called the dealership where I bought the car, the rep said the service manager isn't in, and anything to do with glass malfunctions has to be signed off by him.. great. Waiting.

wow, my passenger side mirror cracked about a month ago. I thought it was due to water getting behind the mirror and freezing...but I guess there may be an issue.

Hey Guys,

Forgot to come back to this thread. My mirror got replaced when i went to the dealership free of charge. Let them know and they will order one and replace yours.

The guy was pretty surprised though

Got a call today to get my passenger side fixed, just the glass though, took them a day to order it, going to be covered as well under warranty. Glad to know this might be a recall issue of some sort.

The driver's mirror black line is not for heating, it is a separation for the part of the mirror that is wide angle. Both mirrors are heated.

That looks identical to mine, I am at the dealership getting my passenger fixed as we speak and showed the service manager yours and he's floored.
Yeah. Im going in for the 2.0 recall/check Monday and pointing this out to the dealer.

Hey bbv3 you mentioned they only ordered the glass itself? They did that initially with my wife's car when the the actual glass mirror came in it didn't work because the glass did not attach properly to the back of the housing unit where it sits behind and every time you would try to adjust the mirror all you would hear is the mirrors motor actuating but it wasn't moving the mirror cause the techs could not put the force that was needed to set the glass in place because if they did use the force needed it would crack. So then the parts department had to order the entire mirror housing and we had to wait another 3 weeks before that part came in.
Just wanted to give you a heads up of what we experienced I just hope that does not happen to you as well.

So my dealership is also covering the cracked mirror under warranty. They ordered the glass only so we shall see if they can just replace that or not.

Anyone else happen to have an issue with Driver side mirror Cracking on them for no apparent reason? I Was sitting at the bank drive thru, when my driver side mirror all of a sudden popped and cracked just about parallel to the defrost line. I did not hit anything at all while in drive thru. Temperature was in the upper 40's and the side mirror defrost was on.
I drove to the dealership and told them what had happen as odd as it sounds they did order a new replacement mirror.

Definitely makes me wonder since there have been 2 in under 2 weeks. Wonder how many who are not part of our forum?
I noticed my driver side mirror cracked today. Not sure due to all the work they had to do.....took in for window tinting, hit right front with tool box, had to replace fog lamp housing.Went to pick up, they had then scratched and dented driver front fender. Ended up having to paint fender to fix. Now finding another scratch, bumper not on tight, and mirror cracked. What a mess. All caused by dealer. Calling tomorrow about mirror and other stuff. I don't know about anyone else, but I expect perfection from a dealer. Mine has like three lines all from starting from one spot.
