Powertrain Warranty Frequently Asked Questions

Your Honda Powertrain Warranty: Essential Protection in Boston

When you purchase a new or Certified Pre-Owned Honda from Parkway Honda Boston, you gain much more than reliable transportation—you gain the confidence of a Powertrain Warranty. This coverage protects the most expensive and crucial components under your hood, giving you peace of mind against major engine or transmission failure while driving in and around Boston.

What does the Honda Powertrain Warranty typically cover?

The Powertrain Warranty covers the necessary repair or replacement of the mechanical parts that generate and deliver power to your wheels. For new Hondas, this coverage is standard at 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. For HondaTrue Certified vehicles, this is often extended to 7 years or 100,000 miles from the original in-service date.

• Engine: Includes the engine block, cylinder head, and all internal, lubricated parts (pistons, oil pump, crankshaft, etc.).
• Transmission/Transaxle: Covers the transmission case and all internal parts (gears, bearings, torque converter, etc.).
• Drivetrain: Covers major components like drive shafts, axles, and the final drive housing for AWD, FWD, and RWD systems.

Will my warranty be voided if I don't get maintenance done at the dealership?

No, your factory Honda Powertrain Warranty cannot be voided simply because you choose to service your vehicle elsewhere. However, you are required to follow the recommended maintenance schedule in your owner's manual. You must keep detailed records and receipts of all work (including oil changes, filter changes, etc.) performed by any facility to prove proper maintenance if you ever need to make a warranty claim.

Are routine maintenance items covered by the Powertrain Warranty?

The Powertrain Warranty does not cover routine maintenance. Items considered wear and tear, such as oil changes, tire rotations, brake pads, spark plugs, filters, and wiper blades, are excluded. The warranty is designed to cover unexpected mechanical failures of the vehicle's core systems, not the cost of regular, required upkeep.

Does the warranty cover damage caused by an accident or neglect?

No, the warranty does not cover damage resulting from external factors. This includes collision, theft, vandalism, fire, water damage (like flooding), and, crucially, damage caused by neglect, misuse, or failure to follow the required maintenance schedule (e.g., engine failure due to a lack of oil changes).
