Default Extended emissions warranty

Just thought you all might like to see this. If your car has between 75,000 and 150,000 the dealer will give it a tune-up, replace plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and change your oil for free. It doesn't matter if you are the original owner or not.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
Notice of Lodging of Consent Decree
Under The Clean Air Act
Under 28 CFR 50.7, notice is hereby
given that on June 8, 1998, a proposed
Consent Decree in United States v.
American Honda Motor, Co., Inc., Civil
Action No. 98–01433, was lodged with
the United States District Court for the
District of Columbia.
The United States has asserted, in a
civil complaint under the Clean Air Act,
42 U.C.S. 7401 et seq., that certain
model-year 1995, 1996, and 1997
American Honda vehicles fail to comply
with the emission-control requirements
of the Act and the regulations
promulgated thereunder relating to the
detection of engine misfire through the
use of computerized on-board
diagnostics. Under the proposed
Consent Decree, American Honda has
agreed to resolve the United States’
claims by proving each current and all
subsequent owners of Honda vehicles
covered by the settlement with a
14year/150,000 mile extended emissions
warranty, a free engine check at any
time between 50,000 an 75,000 miles of
use (to identify emission-related defects
covered by the extended emissions
warranty), plus a free tune up (to
maintain the engines’ emissions
performance) at any time between
75,000 and 150,000 miles of use.
The
Decree requires American Honda to
notify affected owners of the extended
emissions warranty and services
available under the Decree (including
persons who purchase the vehicles from
current owners) following entry of the
Consent Decree by the Court, again
when each vehicle is approximately
four years old, and a final time when the
vehicle is approximately 9 years old.
Further, Honda will pay $10.1 in civil
penalties and spend $1 million to
implement a supplemental
environmental project to enhance the
use of on-board diagnostics by the states
in connection with their motor vehicle
emissions inspection and maintenance
programs.

The CALI FORNICATION of america ! ! !
When the sensors are too sensitive and throw false codes California will sue Honda again.
I sure hope the big quake comes soon and that entire state slides into the ocean.
Then they will try to sue the boat manufacturers out of business, for all the ******s that drowned.
The Californian sat ten miles away while the Titanic sank, the crew didn't want their sleep disturbed.
Thats all I need to know about california. LMAO

Well 4th gens rust worse than the 3rd gens, they were the first to have the PITA front brakes to replace, the power window motors suck, the EGR ports clog like no other, I am sure there are more pet peeves about my 4th gen with 193K miles
