transportation, commercial loss, or any other incidental or consequential damage.

Any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this written limited warranty.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts and/or do
not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. This warranty gives you

warranty will expire coincident with the original warranty on the replaced parts,
accessories, or apparel.
Parts and accessories installed by a dealer who is authorized by American Honda to
sell them will be repaired or replaced under warranty without charge for parts or
