The failure occurs under regular driving whenever a rock or debris hits the fog light lenses causing it to crack or shatter. It has occurred 5 times in the last six years, and also hundreds of times to other Honda and Acura owners. The consequences include glass shards falling onto the road, and sometimes causes the blubs to break and the fog lights to go out. The dealer replaces the fog light assembly with an identical unit which is also subject to the same problem. A simple solution would be to replace the glass lens with a hard plastic one (such as the one used on the headlamps) but Honda does not provide such a unit.
