Under federal law, a manufacturer may deny
warranty coverage and charge for repairs to a
vehicle if it is discovered that an aftermarket or
recycled part installed on the vehicle is defective
or was installed incorrectly and caused damage
to another part of the vehicle otherwise covered
under warranty. The Federal Trade Commission
requires that a manufacturer demonstrate that
an aftermarket or recycled part or service
performed by a person other than an
authorized service provider caused damage to
another part of the vehicle otherwise covered
under warranty before denying warranty
coverage. Additionally, federal law allows a
manufacturer to void a motor vehicle warranty
or deny warranty coverage if the manufacturer
provides the article or service to consumers free
of charge under the warranty or the
manufacturer has secured a waiver from the
Federal Trade Commission.
Service
Please remember that maintenance
recommended in the Maintenance Schedule is
not included in your warranty coverage.
If you believe you have a problem with your
vehicle, call the service department of your
Honda dealer. Make an appointment for an
inspection and diagnosis. You will be asked to
authorize that inspection, and your dealer will
return the results of the inspection. If a problem
exists and is covered under warranty, your
dealer will perform the warranty repairs. If you
have any questions about your warranty
coverage or the nature of the repair, talk to the
Service Manager of your Honda dealer.
