EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM WARRANTY

Your new Honda Power Equipment engine complies with the U.S. EPA, 

Environment Canada, and State of California (models certified for sale in 

California only) emission regulations. American Honda Motor Co., Inc. provides 

the emission warranty coverage for engines in the United States and its 

territories. Honda Canada Inc. provides the emission warranty for engines in 

the 13 provinces and territories of Canada. In the remainder of this Emission 

Control System Warranty, American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada 

Inc. will be referred to as Honda.

CALIFORNIA EXHAUST AND EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS 
CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT
YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

 

The California Air Resources Board and Honda are pleased to explain the 

exhaust and evaporative emissions (“emissions”) control system warranty on 

your 2022 and later Honda Power Equipment engine. In California, new 

equipment that use small off-road engines must be designed, built, and 

equipped to meet the State's stringent anti-smog standards. Honda must 

warrant the emissions control system on your power equipment engine for the 

periods of time listed below provided there has been no abuse, neglect, or 

improper maintenance of your small off-road engine or equipment leading to the 

failure of the emissions control system. 
Your emissions control system may include parts such as the carburetor or 

fuel-injection system, the ignition system, catalytic converter, fuel tanks, fuel 

lines (for liquid fuel and fuel vapors), fuel caps, valves, canisters, filters, clamps 

and other associated components. Also included may be hoses, belts, 

connectors, and other emission-related assemblies (see the adjacent column 

for additional covered parts).
Where a warrantable condition exists, Honda will repair your power equipment 

engine at no cost to you including diagnosis, parts and labor.

MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power 

equipment engine is warranted for two years. If any emissions-related part on 

your Honda power equipment engine is defective, the part will be repaired or 

replaced by Honda. 

OWNER'S WARRANTY RESPONSIBILITY:

As the power equipment engine owner, you are responsible for the 

performance of the required maintenance listed in your owner's manual. 

Honda recommends that you retain all receipts covering maintenance on 

your power equipment engine, but Honda cannot deny warranty coverage 

solely for the lack of receipts or for your failure to ensure the performance 

of all scheduled maintenance.

As the power equipment engine owner, you should however be aware that 

Honda may deny you warranty coverage if your power equipment engine 

or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance, or 

unapproved modifications.

You are responsible for presenting your power equipment engine to a 

Honda Power Equipment servicing dealer as soon as the problem exists. 

The warranty repairs shall be completed in a reasonable amount of time, 

not to exceed 30 days.

If you have any questions regarding your warranty rights and responsibilities, 

you should contact the Honda office in your region:

YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS

Other States, U.S. territories, and Canada:

In other areas of the United States and in Canada, your engine must be 

designed, built, and equipped to meet the U.S. EPA and Environment Canada 

emission standards for spark-ignited engines at or below 19 kilowatts.
Specific Honda products that do not meet the California emissions regulations 

can be identified by a “California: Not for sale or use” or “California: Only for use 

in Farming or Construction Equipment” decal.

All of the United States and Canada:

The exhaust and evaporative emissions control system on your Honda power 

equipment engine sold in the United States and Canada is warranted for two 

years from the date of delivery to the ultimate purchaser or the length of the 

Honda Distributor’s Limited Warranty, whichever is longer. This warranty is 

transferable to each subsequent purchaser for the duration of the warranty 

period. 
If any emissions-related part on your Honda power equipment engine is 

defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Honda. All defective parts 

replaced under this warranty become the property of Honda. Only Honda 

approved replacement parts may be used in the performance of any warranty 

repairs and must be provided without charge to the owner. A list of warranted 

parts is on the adjacent column of this warranty statement. All emission related 

parts are under warranty for the remainder of the warranty period. Normal 

maintenance items, such as spark plugs and filters, that are on the warranted 

parts list are warranted up to their required replacement interval only.
Honda will also replace other engine components damaged by a failure of any 

warranted part during the warranty period. Honda cannot deny coverage under 

the emission warranty solely for use of non-Honda replacement parts or service 

performed at a location other than an authorized Honda dealership; however, 

use of a part that is not functionally identical to the original equipment part in 

any respect that may in any way affect emissions (including durability) could 

result in denial of coverage. If such a non-Honda replacement part is used in 

the repair or maintenance of your engine, and an authorized Honda dealer 

determines it is defective or causes a failure of a warranted part, your claim for 

repair of your engine may be denied. If the part in question is not related to the 

reason your engine requires repair, your claim will not be denied.

TO OBTAIN WARRANTY SERVICE:

You must, at your own expense, take your Honda Power Equipment engine or 

the product on which it is installed, along with your sales registration card or 

other proof of original purchase date, to any Honda Power Equipment dealer 

who is authorized by Honda to sell and service that Honda product during their 

normal business hours. Claims for repair or adjustment found to be caused 

solely by defects in material or workmanship will not be denied because the 

engine was not properly maintained and used.
If you are unable to obtain emission warranty service or are dissatisfied with the 

warranty service you received, contact the owner of the dealership involved. 

Normally this should resolve your problem. However, if you require further 

assistance, contact the Honda office in your region using the information shown 

in the adjacent column.

EXCLUSIONS: 

Failures other than those resulting from defects in material or workmanship are 

not covered by this warranty. This warranty does not extend to emission control 

systems or parts that are affected or damaged by owner abuse, neglect, 

improper maintenance, or unapproved modifications.
This warranty does not cover replacement of expendable maintenance items 

made in connection with required maintenance service after the item’s first 

scheduled replacement as listed in the maintenance section of the product 

owner’s manual, such as: spark plugs and filters.

DISCLAIMER OF CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE AND LIMITATION 
OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES: 

American Honda Motor Co., Inc. and Honda Canada Inc. disclaim any 

responsibility for incidental or consequential damages such as loss of time or 

the use of the power equipment, or any commercial loss due to the failure of 

the equipment; and any implied warranties are limited to the duration of this 

written warranty. This warranty is applicable only where the California, U.S. 

EPA, or Environment Canada emission control system warranty regulation is in 

effect.
