What’s Included in Your 2016 Honda Accord Warranty?

Every 2016 Honda Accord came with a Factory Warranty, also known as a Manufacturer’s Warranty. However, the details of this warranty might vary depending on the trim level, engine configuration, and vehicle mileage. You might have questions about what your warranty covers and whether it’s still in effect for your vehicle. That’s why we’ve put together this guide to help you navigate all the details regarding your 2016 Honda Accord warranty.

You can check out the FAQs at the end of the article if you have any questions that still need answers.

Factory Warranty

2016 Honda Accord Basic Warranty

The 2016 Honda Accord Basic Warranty, or New Vehicle Limited Warranty, went into effect on the day of your vehicle’s delivery. It was valid for three years or up to 36,000 miles and is now expired. It covered parts and repairs for damages from normal wear and tear or defective workmanship. For the first six months, the warranty covered the key fob, remotes, and OEM wiper blade inserts. This warranty didn’t cover cleaning and polishing, the addition of any fluids, or the replacement of chipped, scratched, or broken glass not caused by a manufacturing defect.

2016 Honda Accord Powertrain Warranty

The Powertrain Warranty for the 2016 Honda Accord was good for five years or up to 60,000 miles. It covered the engine, transmission, transaxle, and front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive system. Any necessary repair or replacement would have been covered at no charge, but this warranty has expired.

For the engine, the warranty covered these parts:

• Cylinder block
• Timing gears and gaskets
• Timing chain/belt and cover
• Flywheel
• Valve covers
• Oil pan
• Oil pump
• Intake and exhaust manifolds
• Engine mounts
• Control module
• Water pump
• Fuel pump
• Seals and gaskets

The transmission included these parts:

• Case
• Torque converter
• Transfer case
• Control module
• Seals and gaskets

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

A 2016 Honda Accord’s original owner was the only one who could have made a claim for the Corrosion or Rust Perforation Limited Warranty. This warranty was in effect for five years and had no mileage limits. The coverage for the warranty is now expired. It covered the replacement of panels that rusted through. If panels weren’t completely rusted through, Honda would determine whether to repair or replace them at no charge to the vehicle’s original owner.

The Rust Perforation Limited Warranty didn’t cover surface rust on the underbody of the vehicle, rust damage caused by road debris or hazards, rust from the vehicle being immersed in water, mud, or sand, or rust from misuse. Paint matching was also not part of this warranty’s coverage.

Air Conditioning Warranty

There is no separate Air Conditioning Warranty for the 2016 Honda Accord. The vehicle’s air conditioning system was covered under the Emissions Warranty for three years or up to 36,000 miles, whichever came first. This warranty is no longer valid. If you needed your air conditioner’s refrigerant recharged, it would have been covered for two years or up to 24,000 miles under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, but this time frame has also passed.

Paint Warranty

A Paint Warranty was not included for the 2016 Honda Accord. The manufacturer doesn’t warranty any item involving the cosmetic appearance of a vehicle. If you noticed any flaws in the paint job or body of your Accord, you should have brought them to the dealer’s attention immediately.

Battery Warranty

During the first three years of ownership, your Honda Accord’s battery was covered for all replacement, labor, and installation costs. After this time, Honda will replace the battery at a percentage of its replacement cost for an additional 64 months. This warranty still provides some coverage for battery replacement. You will be responsible for labor and installation costs because the three-year period has passed.

The battery limited warranty provided with the 2016 Honda Accord does not apply to the high-voltage traction battery. This hybrid battery is covered under the Accord’s Hybrid System Warranty, which is good for eight years or 100,000 miles.

Tire Warranty

Your 2016 Honda Accord warranty doesn’t cover the tires, even if they are original to the vehicle. Tires are covered by a manufacturer warranty, but your Honda dealer can help you find out if your tires are still under warranty and who manufactured them. The tires that come on most Hondas are from reputable manufacturers, including:

• Yokohama
• Michelin
• Goodyear/Dunlop
• Continental
• Firestone/Bridgestone

Emissions Warranty

Your 2016 Honda Accord had an Emissions Warranty that covered all components related to the system for three years or 36,000 miles and up to 50,000 miles in California. The coverage would pay for any parts and labor to maintain the system. This warranty is now expired.

It covered the following parts of your 2016 Accord’s emissions system:

• Crankcase control system
• Evaporative and refueling emissions control systems
• Exhaust gas recirculation system
• Exhaust system
• Ignition system
• Fuel injection system
• OBD-II system
• Transmission control system
• Intake air system
• Valve control system
• Hybrid powertrain system

This warranty might also cover the carburetor or fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter, and engine computer. Additionally, the Clean Air Act requires manufacturers to cover the catalytic converter, engine computer, and onboard diagnostics for eight years or 80,000 miles.
