HONDA is giving free service for the vehicles listed below. Give your dealer or the # on the letter a call with your VIN number to see if it is qualified. Thanks LordRamZ.

1995 models: Honda Accord V6, Acura NSX, Acura 2.5TL
1996 models: All models
1997 models: All models (except for the Honda Passport, Acura Integra Type-R, Acura SLX)
You receive:

At 50k-75k miles, you get a free emissions inspection and any repairs or replacements.
At 75k - 150k miles you get another free emissions inspection and you also get new spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap, rotor and oil change for free.
Emissions warranty has been extended to 14 years
You can get reimbursed if you paid for any of the above emmissions parts or repairs

 

Sweet deal, but it almost reads like it's for California only. I'd be afraid to take my car in since it's kind of an emmisions nightmare and they might not even touch it with a turbo on there.

 

It should be determined by VIN instead of state. Call the toll free number in the link and they should be able to tell you if you qualify over the phone.

 

yea i had that done last week (free spark plugs, distributor ignition, and oil change)
they called my parents and told them things were wrong with my car
and my parents told them to fix it i was too late
ended up being 1000 there was oil in the spark plugs and other stuff i dont remember(750 labor 250 parts )

 

So it's more of a bait and switch technique? Too bad you can't just go in and ask for the parts to install yourself.

It's a good way to bring customers in too. They can work on your car and then say, "We checked your car out. XXX needs replacing soon. Would you like us to do it now?"

 

Well, i called my local Acura dealer and im going in on monday for this service ill keep you updated , good thing is i just bought the car check it out ...https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1530172

 

what about my 94 & 1/2 prelude?

 

do i quality with an ebay intake and aftermarket muffler

 

Well i took my car in on Monday and they did everything on that paper, changed the plugs,wires,dist.cap,rotor and gave me an oil change.They also hooked it up to a diagnostic machine to test the emmisions.Everything was Free.Thanks for this post,it saved me alot of money and time

 

in case it hasnt been noticed the emissions extension is ONLY for early obd2 cars.

 

they did the same stuff to my car, i was wondering about the rotors, is the the brake rotor or something else? and is this a one-time service?

 

Was there ever something like this for early '90s Hondas?

no this is only for cars that had the first version of obd2 software. the federal government in the US claimed that the software and so on was not able to keep the cars as clean as honda claimed it could. after a lengthy negotiation etc it was determined that Honda would extend warranty and perform certain services, the bulletin that this post is about is over 6 years old at this time, I know for a fact that the bulletin was dated at LEAST as far back as March 19, 1999. Not sure when they would have started sending letters though.

 

i got a letter about two weeks ago...i could have used a new set of spark plugs....too bad i dont have any trace of obd2 left in my car....hahah

 

My 92 lude is jealous and hates you all. Guess its for OBDII only cars?

The bulletin on this post is dated January 2006, so it's pretty current actually.
