EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, 
Environment Canada, and State of California (models certified for sale in 
California only) emission regulations. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. 
provides the emission warranty coverage for engines in the United States and 
its territories. Honda Canada Inc. provides the emission warranty for engines 
in the 13 provinces and territories of Canada. In the remainder of this 
Emission Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and 
Honda Canada Inc. will be referred to as Honda.

CALIFORNIA EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS 

CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the 
exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control system warranty on 
your 2022 and later Honda Power Equipment engine. In California, new 
equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and 
equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Honda must 
warrant the emissions control system on your power equipment engine for 
the periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, 
or improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading 
to the failure of the emissions control system.
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or 
fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel 
lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, 
clamps and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, 
connectors, and other emission-related assemblies (see the adjacent column 
for additional covered parts).
Where a warrantable condition exists, Honda will repair your power 
equipment engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power 
equipment engine is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on 
your Honda power equipment engine is defective, the part will be repaired or 
replaced by Honda.

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:

• As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the 

performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. 

Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on 

your power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage 

solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance 

of all scheduled maintenance.

As the power equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that 

Honda may deny you warranty coverage if your power equipment engine 

or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or 

unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a 

Honda Power Equipment servicing dealer as soon as the problem exists. 

The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, 

not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your emission warranty rights and 

responsibilities, you should contact the Honda office in your region.

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Other States, U.S. territories, and Canada:

In other areas of the United States and in Canada, your engine must be 

designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and Environment Canada 

emission standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
Specific Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations 

can be identified by a “California: Not for sale or use” or “California: Only for 

use in Farming or Construction Equipment” decal.

All of the United States and Canada:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power 

equipment engine sold in the United States and Canada is warranted for two 

years from the date of delivery to the ultimate purchaser or the length of the 

Honda Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is 

transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty 

period. 
If any emissions-related part on your Honda power equipment engine is 

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Honda. All defective parts 

replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. Only Honda 

approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty 

repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. A list of warranted 

parts is shown in the table below. All emission related parts are under warranty 

for the remainder of the warranty period. Normal maintenance items, such as 

spark plugs and filters, that are on the warranted parts list are warranted up to 

their required replacement interval only.
Honda will also replace other engine components damaged by a failure of any 
warranted part during the warranty period. Honda cannot deny coverage 
under the emission warranty solely for use of non-Honda replacement parts or 
service performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; 
however, use of a part that is not functionally identical to the original equipment 
part in any respect that may in any way affect emissions (including durability) 
could result in denial of coverage. If such a non-Honda replacement part is 
used in the repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized Honda 
dealer determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, your 
claim for repair of your engine may be denied. If the part in question is not 
related to the reason your engine requires repair, your claim will not be denied.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

You must, at your own expense, take your Honda Power Equipment engine 
or the product on which it is installed, along with your sales registration card 
or other proof of original purchase date, to any Honda Power Equipment 
dealer who is authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product 
during their normal business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to 
be caused solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied 
because the engine was not properly maintained and used.
If you are unable to obtain emission warranty service or are dissatisfied with 
the warranty service you received, contact the owner of the dealership 
involved. Normally this should resolve your problem. However, if you require 
further assistance, contact the Honda office in your region using the 
information shown in the adjacent column.

EXCLUSIONS:

Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship 
are not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not extend to emission 
control systems or parts that are affected or damaged by owner abuse, 
neglect, improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable maintenance items 
made in connection with required maintenance service after the item’s first 
scheduled replacement as listed in the maintenance section of the product 
owner’s manual, such as: spark plugs and filters.

DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE AND LIMITATION 

OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES:

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. disclaim any 
responsibility for incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or 
the use of the power equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of 
the equipment; and any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this 
written warranty. This warranty is applicable only where the California, U.S. 
EPA, or Environment Canada emission control system warranty regulation is 
in effect.
