The 2006 Honda Ridgeline came with a New Vehicle Limited Warranty in addition to other types of limited coverage. While this basic warranty has expired, you may still want to learn more about coverage options.

Factory Warranty
2006 Honda Ridgeline Basic Warranty
Each new 2006 Honda Ridgeline had warranty coverage for three years or 36,000 miles. This New Vehicle Limited Warranty covered most components, except for the vehicle tires.
While Honda’s New Vehicle Limited Warranty covered most components of the vehicle, it only covered damage caused during manufacturing. This means that the problem must have been caused by a factory defect, like a damaged or defective component.
2006 Honda Ridgeline Powertrain Warranty
The Powertrain Limited Warranty covered the 2006 Honda Ridgeline for five years or 60,000 miles. This warranty coverage was available for the engine, transmission, and transaxle assembly.
Corrosion Perforation Warranty
Honda’s Rust Perforation Warranty covered body panels that experienced significant rust damage as a result of a factory defect or poor workmanship. The Rust Perforation Warranty was available for five years with unlimited miles.
Air Conditioning Warranty
Honda covered the air conditioner as part of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. These components were covered for three years or 36,000 miles.
Paint Warranty
Honda did not offer a warranty to cover paint for the 2006 Honda Ridgeline. Cosmetic defects may have been covered only if they were found immediately by the buyer upon the initial delivery of the vehicle.
Battery Warranty
The original 2006 Ridgeline battery was completely covered by an Original Equipment Battery Limited Warranty for three years with no mileage limit. This included the costs of labor and installation.
Tire Warranty
Honda did not offer a separate Tire Warranty for the 2006 Honda Ridgeline. The tire manufacturer offered its own warranty. You can call the Honda dealership where you bought your vehicle to learn more about this warranty coverage.
Emissions Warranty
The Federal Emissions Warranty covered defects and performance influencing the emissions systems of the vehicle. Coverage was available for three years or 36,000 miles.
For Honda Ridgeline owners living in some states, the California Emissions Warranty provided additional coverage of three years or 50,000 miles.
According to the Clean Air Act, vehicle manufacturers are required to cover some emissions components longer than other parts. For example, Honda and other manufacturers must cover components like the engine computer and catalytic converter for eight years or 80,000 miles. For the 2006 Honda Ridgeline, this coverage has expired.

FAQs
How Long Does the Seat Belt Warranty Last?
The 2006 Honda Ridgeline has lifetime coverage for seat belts. If the seat belts fail to function properly at any point, contact a Honda dealership for information about repairing or replacing them. This warranty won’t cover cosmetic repairs though, or damage resulting from an accident or misuse.
Which Parts Did the Emissions System Warranty Cover?
This Emissions System Warranty covers multiple systems in the vehicle. They include the crankcase control system, evaporative and refueling emissions control system, exhaust gas recirculation system, exhaust system, ignition system, fuel injection system, OBD system, transmission control system, intake air system, secondary air injection system, VTEC system, VTC system, and integrated motor assist system.
What Kind of Rust Damage Was Not Covered Under Honda's Warranty?
The Rust Perforation Limited Warranty only covered rust that has worked through the body of the vehicle from the inside. The warranty did not cover rust on the underbody of the vehicle or on other components aside from body panels. Additionally, the warranty didn’t cover rust on body panels that were replaced or refinished, unless they were previously replaced under this warranty.
If your factory warranty has expired and you’re looking to reduce out-of-pocket expenses, be sure to check out the FIXD+CARCHEX Vehicle Protection Plan.
