Honda Genuine Parts typically come with a limited warranty of 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first. Exact terms can vary by country, part type, and installation method, so always check the warranty card or ask a dealer for your region's specifics.
What replacement parts are covered and by whom
The following overview explains how the warranty applies to Honda replacement parts, including who is covered and under what circumstances. Regional differences can affect the details.
The overview below outlines common coverage categories for Honda parts and related items:
- Honda Genuine Parts (OEM components): Typically covered for defects in materials or workmanship for 12 months or 12,000 miles from the date of installation or purchase, whichever comes first. Coverage terms can vary by market and part.
- Honda Genuine Accessories: May be covered under a separate warranty from the parts warranty; terms vary by product and region. Always confirm the exact duration on the warranty card.
- Installation and dealer involvement: Parts installed at an authorized Honda dealer generally ship with the dealer's service warranty as applicable, and the part warranty applies to the replacement part itself. Self-installation may have different terms; check the warranty card.
- Transferability and regional variations: Some warranties are transferable to new owners or have regional exceptions; review the certificate attached to the part and local Honda policy.
In practice, the basic idea is straightforward: if the part proves defective due to manufacturing or material issues within the specified period, Honda or the dealer should replace or repair it at no charge, provided prerequisites are met (proper installation, receipt, etc.).
What is not covered
Typical exclusions include wear and tear, improper installation, accident damage, misuse, and lack of maintenance. Weather-related deterioration and normal aging are generally not covered unless the defect can be shown to arise from faulty manufacture.
