What Your 2011 Honda Accord Warranty Covers

The 2011 Honda Accord Warranty is comprehensive, generous, and, at this point, expired. Even so, it’s useful to understand what the warranty once offered so you know what might have been covered. Plus, you’ll need to know what certain terms mean when used in the context of auto warranties.

Several types of warranties exist, and they can come from a variety of sources. A warranty’s length is measured in terms of time and mileage. For example, you might see a warranty with a limit of three years or 36,000 miles. That means the warranty expires when you reach either the time or mileage limit, whichever comes first.

To help you understand the details of the Factory Warranty (also known as a Manufacturer’s Warranty) and the extent of its coverage, refer to the following handy chart, and review the frequently asked questions at the bottom to learn more.

Factory Warranty

The Factory Warranty includes the warranty policies that came with the 2011 Accord as issued by Honda itself. These warranties covered the vehicle from the time of initial purchase until their expiration, which would have been a few years ago for most 2011 Accords.

2011 Honda Accord Basic Warranty

The 2011 Accord’s Basic Warranty is also known as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. It lasted for three years or 36,000 miles, depending on which you reached first, and it covered just about everything in the vehicle as long as the fault was because of a manufacturer error. This warranty has since expired. Some parts, including certain engine components, were covered by more than one warranty, while other aspects of the Accord, such as tires, were warrantied separately.

2011 Honda Accord Powertrain Warranty

With the Powertrain Warranty for the 2011 Accord, you had coverage for five years or 60,000 miles. This included nearly every part of the engine, plus the drivetrain and transmission. It is now expired. Keep in mind, this warranty only applied when you maintained proper operation of the vehicle.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The Corrosion Perforation Warranty, or Rust Warranty, was good for five years without any mileage limits. Even if you put 100,000 miles on the Accord in the first four years, you’d still have a year of coverage until that fifth year was over. This warranty covered the costs of repairing or replacing body panels that rusted from the inside out, and it is now expired.

Air Conditioning Warranty

While Honda doesn’t offer an Air Conditioning Warranty, this system was covered as part of the Basic Factory Warranty, which has since expired. The warranty did not, however, cover air conditioner refrigerant changes after the first year unless as part of another warrantied repair.

Paint Warranty

The Paint Warranty on the 2011 Accord was part of the Basic Warranty, which as expired, but it only covered manufacturer errors. Damage to the paint because of an accident was not covered. Additionally, the 2011 Accord’s warranty did not cover paint matching.

Battery Warranty

The Battery Warranty’s coverage worked on a tiered system. It lasted for 100 months, which is eight years and four months, but the amount of coverage decreased over time. For the first three years, Honda covered the entire cost of a battery replacement. Starting on Month 37, however, Honda only covered 60% of the replacement cost, and that amount decreased another 10% every 10 months until Months 96 through 100, which offered 5% coverage. Since it has been longer than 100 months since 2011, the battery is no longer under warranty.

Tire Warranty

The tires on the 2011 Accord were warrantied separately and issued by the individual tire manufacturers. Get in touch with the tire manufacturer to learn more about your warranty details, or ask your local Honda dealer to point you in the right direction.

Emissions Warranty

The Emissions Warranty varied based on where the vehicle was driven. The standard warranty covered emissions repairs for three years or 36,000 miles in most states. In states that adhere to the California standard, however, that coverage extended to 50,000 miles on most parts and up to seven years or 70,000 miles for certain components. No matter the location, the warranty has expired by this point.

With the Clean Air Act, some parts, such as the catalytic converter, onboard diagnostics, and engine computer, were covered for eight years or 80,000 miles.

2011 Honda Accord Warranty Extensions Available Upon Car Purchase

At the time, extended warranties for the 2011 Accord were available from dealerships, but the details varied based on the dealer. For the most part, however, it extended the Basic Warranty to seven years and 100,000 miles, though that would’ve expired by now too.
