SYSTEM WARRANTY COVERAGE:
TECHNICAL AND CONSUMER INFORMATION
Your new Honda outboard engine complies with both the
U.S. EPA and State of California emission regulations.
American Honda provides the same emission warranty
coverage for outboard engines sold in all 50 states.
The California Air Resources Board and American
Honda Motor Co., Inc. are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty on your 2001 and later
Honda outboard engine. In California, new outboard
engines must be designed, built, and equipped to meet
California’s stringent anti-smog emission standards in
addition to the U.S. EPA emissions standards.
Your emission control system may include such parts as
the carburetor or fuel injection system and catalytic
converter. Also included may be hoses, connectors and
other emission-related assemblies.
In all areas of the United States your outboard engine
must be designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S.
EPA Emission Standard for spark ignited marine engines.
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. must warranty the
emission control system on your outboard engine for the
period of time listed below provided there has been no
abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance of your
outboard engine. Where a warranty condition exists,
American Honda Motor Co., Inc. will repair your
outboard engine at no cost to you including diagnosis,
parts and labor.
Your 2010 and later outboard engine is warranted for a
minimum of five years or 250 hours of operation,
whichever comes first, or the length of Honda Marine
Distributor’s Limited warranty, whichever is longer.
However, warranty coverage based on the hourly period
is only permitted for outboard engines equipped with
appropriate hour meters. If any emission-related part on
your outboard engine is defective under warranty, the
part will be repaired or replaced by American Honda
Motor Co., Inc
