Honda Warranty Coverage Explained Simply

Buying a new Honda means getting solid warranty protection. Honda covers your vehicle with several different warranties that protect different parts of your car. Each warranty has its own time limits and coverage areas.

Knowing what your Honda warranty covers helps you plan for maintenance and repairs. You'll know what's free and what costs money. This guide breaks down each Honda warranty so you can understand your coverage.

Standard Warranty Coverage Overview

Electric Vehicle Warranty Coverage

Basic Coverage for Everything

Honda's distributor warranty covers your entire vehicle for three years or 60,000 kilometres. This warranty fixes problems with materials and workmanship at no cost to you. It covers your engine, transmission, electrical systems, brakes, and suspension.

The warranty starts on your registration date. You don't pay a deductible for covered repairs. Honda uses genuine parts or approved replacements for all warranty work.

Light bulbs and wiper inserts only get one year or 20,000 kilometres of coverage. These wear items need replacement more often than other parts.

Engine and Transmission Protection

Your powertrain gets extra protection with a five-year or 100,000-kilometre warranty. This coverage kicks in after your basic warranty ends. It protects your engine, transmission, and related parts from defects.

The powertrain warranty transfers to new owners if you sell your Honda. This helps maintain your vehicle's resale value. Registration with Honda is required for the transfer.

Honda covers all labour and parts for powertrain repairs. You won't pay anything out of pocket for covered problems.

Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Coverage

Honda hybrid systems get eight years or 160,000 kilometres of warranty protection. This covers the motor, battery assembly, power inverter, and control modules. These expensive components get extra coverage because they're new technology.

Electric Honda vehicles get the same eight-year, 160,000-kilometre coverage for their high-voltage battery systems. This warranty recognizes the high cost of electric vehicle batteries.

Both hybrid and electric warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship. Honda replaces faulty parts with new or remanufactured components at no charge.

Body and Paint Protection

Honda protects your vehicle's body from rust for five years with no kilometre limit. This warranty covers rust that goes all the way through the metal from inside to outside.

Surface rust gets three years of coverage with no distance limit. This includes paint defects and visible rust on body panels. Stone chips, acid rain damage, and bird droppings aren't covered.

You need genuine Honda parts for accident repairs to keep your warranty valid. Non-Honda parts can void your body warranty coverage.

Roadside Help Across North America

Honda Plus Roadside Assistance works anywhere in Canada and the United States. You get 24/7 help for three years with no distance limits. The service covers your Honda regardless of who's driving.

Extended Protection Options

Honda Plus Extended Warranty adds coverage beyond your standard warranties. You can extend coverage up to eight years or 200,000 kilometres for major components.

Extended warranties cover climate control, security systems, electrical components, and suspension parts. Your roadside assistance also extends automatically with extended warranty coverage.

Your Honda Warranty Advantage
