2020 Honda HR-V New Vehicle Limited Warranty

Whether you bought or leased your 2020 Honda HR-V, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty went into effect when you took delivery of the vehicle. This coverage is good for three years or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. It will pay to repair or replace defective parts caused by poor workmanship. As long as your HR-V has fewer than 36,000 miles, this warranty is still valid. It only covered batteries for key fobs and remotes and wiper blade replacements for the first six months. Coverage not included in this warranty includes:

  • Normal wear and tear
  • Cleaning and polishing
  • Adding fluids
  • Damaged window glass
  • Expendable parts such as brake pads and filters

2020 Honda HR-V Powertrain Limited Warranty

Under the Powertrain Limited Warranty, your 2020 Honda HR-V has coverage for the engine, transmission, transaxle, and drive system for five years or 60,000 miles. Honda will pay to repair or replace parts of these systems that are damaged due to poor quality or workmanship. Some parts might have additional coverage under other warranties. Unless your HR-V has more than 60,000 miles, this coverage is still good. If you have a front-wheel-drive system, the warranty covers these parts:

  • Final drive housing
  • Driveshafts
  • Constant velocity joints
  • Front hubs and bearings
  • Seals and gaskets

If you have a rear-wheel-drive system, the warranty pays to replace these parts:

  • Differential housing
  • Propeller shafts
  • Universal joints
  • Driveshafts
  • Constant velocity joints
  • Rear hubs and bearings
  • Seals and gaskets

Rust Perforation Limited Warranty

The Rust Perforation Limited Warranty went into effect the same day as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Only the 2020 HR-V’s original owner can make a claim using this warranty, but it’s good for five years and has no mileage limit. This coverage is still valid. If any of the panels on your SUV rust through completely, Honda will pay to repair or replace them. This warranty only covers the new panels until the original five-year period ends and won’t pay to repair or replace panels that rust from:

  • Abuse or misuse
  • Road hazards like rocks and debris
  • Immersion in sand, mud, or water
  • Corrosive gas or industrial fallout

Paint Warranty

The 2020 Honda HR-V warranty won’t pay for anything related to the appearance of your vehicle. Unless noted when taking possession of the vehicle, flaws in the paint job or the body of the vehicle are the owner’s responsibility.

Tire Warranty

All tires on Honda vehicles are warrantied by their manufacturer. These warranties typically have mileage caps and time limits. You can check Honda’s website to find a statement about tire warranties or contact your dealer if you need assistance with your tire warranty.

Federal Emissions Warranty

A Federal Emissions Warranty covers the emissions system in your 2020 Honda HR-V for three years or 36,000 miles. In California and other select states, this warranty lasts 50,000 miles. Certain parts of this system might be covered for seven years or 70,000 miles. Under the Clean Air Act’s standards, some emissions system parts are under warranty for up to eight years or 80,000 miles. You should still have coverage for your emissions system as long as you aren’t over the mileage cap.

FAQS

Here are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions about the 2020 Honda HR-V warranty:

To ensure you qualify for all the warranty work you might need for your 2020 Honda HR-V, you must maintain the vehicle according to the schedule provided by the manufacturer. You should also drive your HR-V properly, avoiding being too hard on the engine or causing undue stress to its components. If you notice a problem, take it in for diagnostics right away.

Honda has a Seat Belt Limited Warranty that’s good for 15 years or 150,000 miles. This coverage starts the same day as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. It will pay to replace the seat belts in your SUV if they’re damaged due to poor workmanship in materials or parts. However, the warranty won’t replace your seat belts for comfort or cosmetic reasons.

If the accessories in your 2020 Honda HR-V were installed before the vehicle’s retail sale, the Accessory Limited Warranty covers them for the length of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Parts installed after retail sale are under warranty for as long as the New Vehicle Limited Warranty is in effect or for one year after installation by a Honda dealer. Parts installed by someone other than a Honda dealer have a one-year warranty.

Honda will pay to replace the 12-volt battery, including labor and installation, for three years or 36,000 miles. After this time, Honda covers the cost of the battery, but not installation and labor, according to this chart:

  • Months 37 to 45: 60%
  • Months 46 to 55: 50%
  • Months 56 to 65: 40%
  • Months 66 to 75: 30%
  • Months 76 to 85: 20%
  • Months 86 to 95: 10%
  • Months 96 to 100: 5%
