Improved warranty for outboards
Honda Marine announces that a five year warranty previously available
on some Honda outboards is now offered with the entire product line. Probably good news for outboard owners, other companies may improve warranty coverage to remain comepetitive. ********** Honda Marine Extends True 5 Warranty to Full Product Line Contacts ALPHARETTA, Ga., May 7, 2007 - In the wake of securing consecutive recognitions for excellence in customer satisfaction from J.D. Power and the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA) during the past three years, Honda Marine extends its industry-first True 5 -year limited warranty to 40 through 225 horsepower (hp) outboards purchased through participating dealers between April 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008. In addition, effective May 1, True 5 will be offered on 2 through 30hp models purchased between May 1, 2007 and March 31, 2008. The move to include these models extends Honda Marine's True 5 warranty to its entire product line. |

Probably good news for outboard owners, other companies may improve warranty coverage to remain comepetitive. I have no recent experience with other companies' warranties. But with Honda, I'd say their coverage (and quality control) could definitely use some improvement. Example: My new (in May '05) 20hp outboard, for which I paid $2750, has been in the shop far more than on the water. My maintenance/repair bills total $1,115 so far (that's 40% of what I paid for the motor). The warranty has covered nothing so far. Maybe my motor just has a case of the bad MoJo.... but needless to say, I'm not a "happy" Honda customer (obviously, JD Powers didn't ask customers like me). It ran ok yesterday though. and today I think it would run if I gave it a try.... but I wouldn't count on it. Rick |
