When you buy a new vehicle from your Honda dealership, you will have the benefit of a new car warranty. The standard factory warranty from Honda offers basic protection from mechanical defects, poor workmanship, and other covered damages. It’s important to understand your warranty coverage so you can be prepared for repair and maintenance costs.
What’s Covered Under a Standard Car Warranty From Honda?
Every new Honda comes with a basic limited warranty that covers virtually all parts of your Honda. This bumper-to-bumper coverage will last for three years, or up to 36,000 miles. In addition to this limited warranty, your Honda will also come with a limited powertrain warranty that will last for five years or 60,000 miles. The powertrain warranty covers the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and oil pumps.
Honda owners have the benefit of a rust perforation limited warranty for new vehicles, which lasts for five years. This warranty plan will replace any body panels that have been damaged by rust. Vehicles will also have a high voltage battery capacity limited warranty that lasts for eight years or 100,000 miles.
Coverage Exclusions
Although the basic factory warranty is comprehensive, there are a few parts that are excluded from this warranty. Parts that are frequently replaced due to wear and tear, such as spark plugs, brake pads, and windshield wipers are not covered by the factory warranty. Damage from the environment, theft, collisions, or vandalism is also excluded.
If you fail to follow the recommended maintenance plan in your owner’s manual, damage from neglect is not covered by your factory warranty. The cost of routine maintenance services, such as tire rotations, air filter replacements, and oil changes, are also not covered under your standard warranty.
Ask Your Honda Dealership: What Other Vehicle Protection Should You Consider?
In addition to your factory warranty, there are various protection products offered by Honda Financial Services. These protection plans can cover the gaps in your standard warranty, so you can save more money on routine maintenance and preserve the value of your Honda.
A protection plan such as Guaranteed Asset Protection will protect you from expenses related to theft or total vehicle loss after an accident. A pre-paid maintenance program can cover the cost of vehicle inspections, oil changes, and other basic services. You can discuss these additional protection plans with the finance department at your dealership to customize your level of coverage.
The standard warranty on your Honda is one way you can have peace of mind as a car owner. Along with your factory warranty, you may want to consider specific vehicle protection plans to optimize your vehicle’s protection or reduce routine maintenance costs.
