All About Your 2018 Honda HR-V Warranty

If you haven’t had the time to read through your 2018 Honda HR-V warranty booklet, we can help answer questions you may have about what’s covered and what’s not for your 2018 HR-V. For instance, do you have a warranty for your seat belt, battery, or tires? We’ll let you know if you do.

If you want to know if your 2018 HR-V has a Federal Emissions warranty, we’ll help you figure that out and if so, what it covers and for how long. If you’re wondering what the difference is between a New Vehicle Limited warranty, factory warranty, or manufacturer’s warranty, the terms are used interchangeably and refer to the same type of warranty of three years or 36,000 miles. At the end of this article, you’ll also find an FAQs section that will answer questions many 2018 Honda HR-V owners may ask.

Factory Warranty

2018 Honda HR-V Basic Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V had a three-year or 36,000-mile New Vehicle Limited Warranty, sometimes called a Basic Warranty or Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty. This warranty has now expired for your 2018 Honda HR-V. When the Basic Warranty was valid, it covered most major parts or repairs due to defects in materials or poor workmanship, but it did not cover wear items (such as brakes or wiper blades) or maintenance items.

2018 Honda HR-V Powertrain Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V has a five-year or 60,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty that is still valid for your 2018 HR-V through 2023. Coverage for this important warranty includes repairs and replacement parts for the transmission, front-wheel-drive system, and engine. In addition, the Powertrain Limited Warranty covers components of the 2018 HR-V’s transaxle through 2023.

Corrosion Perforation Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V did originally come with a Rust Perforation Limited Warranty which covered rust damage from the inside out, called corrosion perforation, on the body panels for five years with unlimited mileage. This warranty is valid for your 2018 Honda HR-V through 2023. Honda will only honor this warranty if the original owner or lessee of the 2018 HR-V makes the claim. If you find rust on the underbody of your Honda caused by salt, sand, or mud, the Rust Perforation Limited Warranty does not cover repairs or replacement of the body panels.

Air Conditioning Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V factory warranty included an air conditioning warranty, which was covered for either three years or 36,000 miles under the Federal Emissions Warranty or three years or 50,000 miles under the California Emissions Warranty, depending on where your car was sold. This warranty is now expired. 

In addition to this coverage, the air conditioning refrigerant was covered separately under the Basic Warranty for two years or 24,000 miles, unless refrigerant was required as part of a warranty repair. This limited warranty is now expired, too.

Paint Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V did not come with a specific paint warranty. Honda would have covered the cost of repairs for paint damage due to defects in the paint material or because of poor workmanship under your original factory warranty of three years or 36,000 miles. However, that warranty has expired.

Battery Warranty

The original equipment battery that came with the 2018 Honda HR-V was covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty for three years or 36,000 miles. This has expired.

Tire Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V has no warranty from Honda for tires. Instead, the original tire manufacturer has their own specific warranty. Your Honda dealership can help you contact the tire manufacturer. You can also find this information in the tire booklet found in the glove box.

Emissions Warranty

The 2018 Honda HR-V had a three-year or 36,000-mile Federal Emissions Warranty that has expired. California Emissions Warranty covered emissions repairs for three years or 50,000 miles, and this warranty has also expired. When it was valid, the Federal Emissions Warranty covered repairs and replacement parts for important systems including the active grill shutter, transmission control system, as well as the evaporative and refueling emissions control systems.

Even though the Federal Emissions Warranty for your 2018 HR-V has expired, you’ll still have the manufacturer’s coverage for the catalytic converter, engine computer, and onboard diagnostics for eight years or 80,000 miles under the Clean Air Act’s standards.
