Honda announced warranty extension due to increase in MOC period

KUALA LUMPUR: Honda Malaysia has uploaded a post on its official website and Facebook page regarding its business operations and warranty information. The statement comes in light of the government’s announcement to extend the MCO period till April 28. The MCO phase two was scheduled to end tomorrow, April 14.

The statement is essentially an extension of the announcement made earlier in the MCO, wherein all Honda dealerships, factories in Pegoh, Melaka, and the company’s headquarters in Petaling Jaya were said to remain shut throughout the period. Honda Malaysia said, “we understand that this extension gives more space to health workers and frontliners in containing the spread of this unseen enemy,” referring to the deadly pandemic.

It further added, “In this trying time, where the act of minimising human contact is evidence in saving lives, our dedicated workforce is focused on meeting the needs of our valued customers in the safest way possible.”

Honda has also restated its earlier warranty commitments in these unfortunate times. HM says that all car warranties expiring during the MCO period will be extended for 30 days starting from the last day of MCO, which at the time is April 28 unless there’s a further extension.

All vehicle warranties will remain active despite the preventive maintenance service not being performed by the customers in the MCO period. However, the automaker said that to keep the warranties active, the owners should get their cars serviced within 60 days after the end of the MCO period.

Honda Malaysia said, “If you currently have an upcoming scheduled service, kindly contact your dealer within 15 days of business resuming to book a future appointment.”

Ending its statement, the automaker thanked its customers for their patience and understanding during these challenging times. It also requested all to say home and stay safe.
