Honda Warranty Frequently Asked Questions in Chantilly, VA

When you purchase a new Honda, you get a comprehensive suite of factory warranties designed to protect your investment. Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about Honda's new vehicle warranty coverage. Visit the Service Department at Honda of Chantilly if you want to get assistance with any projects.

What Is the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and How Long Does It Last?

All new Honda vehicles are covered by a 3-year/36,000-mile Limited Warranty, often referred to as the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Any defect to a covered part or component will be repaired by a Honda dealer with no charge for parts or labor.

What Does the Powertrain Limited Warranty Cover?

Honda's Limited Powertrain Warranty covers the most essential drivetrain components for five years or up to 60,000 miles, including the engine, timing chain or belt, transmission, and related internal parts.

What Types of Damage Are Not Covered?

Coverage exclusions include normal wear and tear, accidental damage, the use of incorrect fuel, and repairs made using non-Honda-approved components. The warranty is intended to address manufacturing defects and workmanship issues, not damage resulting from misuse or neglect. Be sure to get routine maintenance at our certified location to remain under warranty.

Does Honda's Warranty Cover Rust and Corrosion?

Yes, Honda's rust perforation warranty covers all body and sheet metal panels that rust from the inside out for five years with no mileage limitation. This applies specifically to rust that originates from within the panel, not surface rust caused by external damage.

Is There a Separate Warranty for Seat Belts?

Seat belts that fail to function properly are covered for 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first. This unusually long coverage period reflects how critical seat belt functionality is as a safety feature for routine drives to Flatlick Stream Valley Park.

Does the Warranty Include Roadside Assistance?

Yes, 24-hour emergency Roadside Assistance is available in the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada for the duration of the 3-year/36,000-mile warranty period on model-year 2015 and later vehicles. Services include jump-starting, flat tire assistance, lockout help, and towing. That way, you can drive around Chantilly with pure peace of mind.

Is the Warranty Transferable If the Vehicle Is Sold?

The Honda factory warranty stays with the car, so if ownership is transferred during the warranty period, the remaining coverage is still valid. This can be a meaningful selling point when reselling a newer Honda.

Are Extended Warranties Available After the Factory Coverage Expires?

Honda offers Honda Care Vehicle Service Contract plans for drivers who want protection beyond the factory warranty period. Your local Honda dealership can walk you through the available options and help you find the right level of coverage for your needs.
