What does the Honda 3-year 36,000-mile warranty cover?

I recently purchased a brand new Honda Civic and was told that I have a 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty. What can I expect the warranty to cover?

Warranties can be unclear, especially when it comes to cars. Let’s take a look at what Honda’s 3-year, 36,000-mile warranty will cover.
Honda’s warranty is also known as a
bumper-to-bumper warranty
. It covers defective components and replacements for parts as needed. It does not cover components that are damaged by theft or accidents.
Components that are sometimes found to be defective in a Honda include:
  • The battery
  • The tires
  • Climate control systems
  • Seat belts
The aforementioned warranty will expire after 3 years or at 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s common to have a second, longer warranty that applies specifically to your engine and transmission.
If you’re worried that the standard warranty isn’t long enough, you should look into Honda Care and obtain an
extended warranty
. An extended warranty with Honda generally lasts for eight years or 120,000 miles.
Having a warranty is a good way to get a little peace of mind, but you’ll need great car insurance if you want to protect your vehicle from accidents, theft, and more.
