What Is the Acura Factory Warranty?

Every new Acura includes factory warranty coverage designed to protect against defects in materials or workmanship. Coverage is time and mileage based (whichever occurs first).

Standard Acura factory warranty coverage includes:
New Vehicle Limited Warranty (Bumper to Bumper)
4 years or 50,000 miles (whichever comes first)
Covers repairs for defective parts, including many vehicle systems such as electronics, audio, and air conditioning. The 12 volt battery is covered under this warranty.

Powertrain Limited Warranty
6 years or 70,000 miles (whichever comes first)
Covers major drivetrain components including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain systems.

Rust Perforation Limited Warranty
5 years, unlimited miles
Protects against rust through corrosion on body panels.

Roadside Assistance
4 years or 50,000 miles
Includes towing, fuel delivery, lockout services, and emergency roadside support.

Emissions Warranty
Covers defects in emissions control systems. Coverage varies by component and regulations.

Once these coverage periods expire, repair costs become the owner’s responsibility.

What Happens When Acura Warranty Coverage Expires?

Many Acura vehicles remain in service well beyond 100,000 miles. After factory warranty coverage ends, owners become responsible for repair costs, including mechanical and electronic component failures.

Common out of pocket repairs after warranty expiration may include:

• Transmission repairs
• Engine component repairs
• Electronic module replacement
• Air conditioning system repairs
• Suspension component wear

Even well built luxury vehicles can experience costly repairs as mileage increases.

Acura Repair Costs After Warranty (Common Examples)

Repair costs vary by model and driving conditions, but common out of warranty repair expenses may include:

• Transmission repair or replacement: $3,500 to $7,500
• Engine repair: $3,000 to $8,000
• Electronic module replacement: $800 to $2,500
• Air conditioning repair: $900 to $2,500
• Suspension repairs: $800 to $2,500

Unexpected repair expenses are one reason many Acura owners evaluate continued protection once factory warranty expires.

Acura Extended Warranty Options

Acura offers manufacturer backed extended coverage programs that may extend certain protections beyond factory warranty limits. Availability, coverage levels, and pricing vary depending on vehicle eligibility.

Manufacturer extended warranties often:

• must be purchased within defined eligibility periods
• offer specific coverage term options
• vary in cost depending on model and coverage level
• may not be available once eligibility limits are exceeded

Some owners evaluate vehicle service contract options depending on vehicle age and mileage.
