Standard warranty coverage for a new Accord

- Bumper-to-bumper (limited) warranty: 3 years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first
- Powertrain warranty: 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first
- Rust-through (corrosion) warranty: 5 years with unlimited miles

These protections apply from the date of delivery to the original buyer and are subject to standard exclusions, restrictions, and required maintenance. For precise terms and any changes that may have occurred by the time you purchase, consult the Honda warranty booklet or a dealer.
Notes on coverage and exclusions
Warranties typically exclude normal wear items (such as brakes and tires), damage from misuse or accidents, and aftermarket modifications. Coverage is also dependent on standard maintenance schedules and keeping service records. Always verify with a dealer for VIN-specific terms.
Emissions and state-specific warranties
Emissions warranties are separate and vary by component and state. Honda's emissions coverage can extend beyond the basic bumper-to-bumper and powertrain warranties depending on where you live and which parts are involved. For used or certified pre-owned vehicles, terms may differ from the new-car program.
How to verify coverage for your vehicle
To confirm the exact terms attached to your Accord, check the warranty booklet in the owner’s manual, review Honda’s official warranty portal with your VIN, or ask a Honda dealership. Warranty eligibility can depend on registration, maintenance history, and the vehicle’s purchase date.
