Factory Warranty

The 2007 Honda Element had different warranties for each system which varied in length of coverage and exclusions.

2007 Honda Element Basic Warranty

Under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, your 2007 Element had coverage for parts that were defective due to poor-quality materials or workmanship for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever came first. This warranty started on the day the first owner took possession of the vehicle. It has expired. 

Any repairs or replacements made under this warranty were completely free. Exclusions to its coverage included:

• Broken, chipped, or scratched window glass
• Replacement of items that wear out under normal use, such as wiper blades and filters

2007 Honda Element Powertrain Warranty

The 2007 Honda Element’s Powertrain Limited Warranty went into effect on the same day as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. This coverage was good for five years or 60,000 miles, but it’s now expired. 

The coverage included these engine components:

• Cylinder block and head and all internal components
• Timing gears and gaskets
• Timing chain/belt and cover
• Flywheel
• Valve cover
• Oil pan
• Oil pump
• Intake and exhaust manifolds
• Engine mounts
• Engine/powertrain control module

• Seals and gaskets

This warranty also covered parts of the transmission and transaxle, including:

• Case and all internal parts

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The 2007 Honda Element’s first owner could make a claim using the Rust Perforation Limited Warranty (now expired) for any panels on the vehicle that rusted through completely. This warranty was good for five years from the date the first customer took ownership of the vehicle and had no mileage cap. 

The Honda 2007 Element’s Corrosion Perforation Warranty wouldn’t pay to replace rusted underbody panels, rusted panels caused by road hazards or debris, or rusted panels from full immersion in mud, water, or sand.

Air Conditioning Warranty

If your 2007 Honda Element’s air conditioning system had defective parts, they were covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for three years or 36,000 miles and didn’t have a separate warranty for repairs. 

The air conditioning refrigerant could be recharged for the first year under this warranty.

Paint Warranty

Honda doesn’t provide a warranty for cosmetic or appearance-related defects in its vehicles. If you noticed any problems with your 2007 Honda Element’s paint job upon delivery, you should have brought it to the dealer’s attention right away to have it addressed.

Battery Warranty

If your Honda Element battery failed within the first three years of ownership, Honda would have paid to replace it. This coverage had no mileage cap and covered any fees associated with diagnosis, installation, and labor in addition to the battery replacement cost. This coverage is expired.

Tire Warranty

Your 2007 Honda Element came with tires from a reputable manufacturer that supplied warranty coverage for them. A Tire Warranty statement was in the car’s glove box, and your Honda dealer can help you get in touch with the tire company to find out if you still have remaining coverage.

Emissions Warranty

The emissions system components for your 2007 Honda Element were covered under the Federal Emissions Warranty. This coverage started on the same day as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty and lasted three years or 36,000 miles. 

In states following California’s rules, the emissions components warranty was good for five years or 70,000 miles.

Additionally, Certain emissions system parts might have had extended coverage, and the Clean Air Act required some components to be covered for eight years or 80,000 miles. These parts were included under the Federal Emissions Warranty:

• Crankcase control system
