It lookis like its up to the dealer to provide you with a loaner but I have always felt that they should provide you with a loaner if your car is a newer model and they are fixing a problem you did not cause. If you didnt buy a car from their dealership they probably save loaner cars for customers who bought cars from their dealership (buy local) thats my thinking. My dealer asked if I needed a car while my fit was being fixed, I didnt even ask but it probably helps that myself and my family have purcahsed several cars from this dealership. Anyway the owner of the paint shop that fixed my Fit told me he has painted different models of Hondas (Accord, Ridgelines etc.) with bumper paint problems in the same area as my Fit. After reading all the postings it looks like Honda needs to alter its manufacturing/assembly process regarding all or most Honda bumpers. I'm glad I had mine fixed because now I have a written record of paint issues if they ever come up again.
