Warranty Extension: 2018–21 Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
A/C Condenser

Dear :
What is the reason for this Warranty Extension?
On some 2018–21 Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
models, the A/C condenser may leak refrigerant.
American Honda
is extending the warranty on the A/C condenser to 10 years from the original date of purchase
with unlimited miles. This warranty extension provides coverage for the original owner and any subsequent
owners. No action is required on your part unless you experience a problem.
This warranty extension only covers vehicles that have a defective A/C condenser from the factory. The A/C
condenser was not manufactured to specification. As a result, corrosion may develop in the form of tiny holes
in the condenser tube walls that allow the refrigerant to leak out.
This does not apply to any vehicle that has a leaking condenser due to foreign object damage.
It also does not apply to any vehicle that has ever been declared a total loss or sold for salvage by a financial
institution or insurer, or has a branded or similar title under any state’s law.
What will Honda
do?
If your vehicle’s A/C condenser leaks refrigerant during the extended warranty period, call any authorized Honda![]()
dealer and make an appointment to have your vehicle inspected. If the leak is determined to be a result of the
defective A/C condenser, the repair will be done for FREE. Please plan to leave your vehicle at the dealer for
at least one day to allow them flexibility in scheduling.
Lessor Information
Please forward a copy of this notice to the lessee.
What to do if you feel this notice is in error

involved in this
warranty extension. If this is not the case, or the name/address information is not correct, please fill out and
return the enclosed, postage-paid Information Change Card. We will then update our records.
If you previously paid to have your vehicle’s A/C system inspected and A/C condenser replaced, you may be eligible
for reimbursement, even if you no longer own the vehicle. Refer to the attached reimbursement instructions for
eligibility requirements and the reimbursement procedure.

2018–2021
VIN:
Estimado :
¿Cuál es el motivo de esta extensión de garantía?
En algunos modelos Clarity Plug-In Hybrid
2018–2021, el condensador del aire acondicionado (A/C) puede tener
una fuga de refrigerante.
American Honda
está extendiendo la garantía en el condensador del aire acondicionado (A/C) a 10 años a partir de
la fecha original de compra, sin límite de millas. Esta extensión de garantía brinda cobertura al propietario original
y a cualquier propietario subsiguiente. No se requiere ninguna acción de su parte a menos que usted experimente
algún problema.
Esta extensión de garantía solamente cubre los vehículos que tienen un condensador del aire acondicionado (A/C)
defectuoso de la fábrica. El condensador del aire acondicionado no fue fabricado a especificación. Como resultado,
se puede crear corrosión en la forma de orificios muy pequeños en las paredes del tubo del condensador que
permiten que el refrigerante se fugue.
Esto no aplica a los vehículos que tengan una fuga en el condensador debido a daño por un objeto extraño.
Esto tampoco aplica a los vehículos que alguna vez se hayan declarado pérdida total o que se hayan vendido
para su recuperación por una institución financiera o compañía de seguros o que tenga una marca o título similar
conforme alguna ley estatal.
¿Qué hará Honda
?
Si el condensador del aire acondicionado (A/C) del vehículo fuga refrigerante durante el periodo extendido de
la garantía, llame a cualquier concesionario Honda
autorizado y programe una cita para que inspeccionen su
vehículo. Si se determina que la fuga es un resultado de un condensador del aire acondicionado (A/C) defectuoso,
la reparación se realizará de forma GRATUITA. Por favor haga planes para dejar su vehículo en el concesionario
por lo menos un día, para permitir flexibilidad en la programación de la cita.
Información para el arrendador
