What causes Honda City paint to peel off, and is it a manufacturing defect?

Some Honda City owners complain about paint peeling, especially on the roof, bonnet, and trunk. Is this issue due to poor factory paint quality, o r is it caused by environmental factors? Has Honda ever addressed this as a warranty-related defect?

Reasons for Paint Peeling:

Environmental Factors: Excessive exposure to heat, UV rays, and pollution can cause the paint to degrade and peel, especially on surfaces exposed to direct sunlight.
Factory Paint Issues: In some cases, poor-quality factory paint o r insufficient surface preparation before painting may lead to poor adhesion, especially on critical areas like the roof, bonnet, and trunk.
Warranty o r Manufacturing Defect: While rare, some Honda City owners report peeling paint as a result of factory defects, particularly if the paint was not properly cured o r if the paint itself was of poor quality. It’s worth checking with an authorized Honda dealership for warranty claims if this occurs early.
