Tire Replacement Information
Typical Claim:
American Honda will pay a prorated amount, as shown in the chart below, for replacement of tires due to uneven or rapid rear tire wear, based on the
tire's mileage.
NOTE:
You must calculate how much to charge the customer and how much to charge the warranty claim. Customer receipts used for calculation of the
mileage must be retained with the repair order. Get the customer's permission before proceeding with this repair.
Customer Reimbursements:
Customers who had tires previously replaced due to wear, and whose vehicle is eligible for rear upper control arm replacement (see DIAGNOSIS on
page 4), may be eligible for reimbursement of a prorated portion of their expense. Use the mileage on the customer's original tire replacement receipt to
calculate the prorated amount, and retain a copy of the receipt with the repair order. To submit a warranty claim for customer reimbursement, follow the
procedure in section 3.9.2 of the Service Operations Manual, "Emergency Repairs Reimbursement Procedure."
To qualify for tire replacement:
^
The tires must have been properly maintained (correct inflation and balancing).
^
Tires must not show signs of abuse (such as from racing or other physical damage). Abused tires are not covered by this service bulletin.
^
Tires must show signs of diagonal or inner edge wear. They must also fall within the abnormal wear range, based on tread depth measured and
mileage shown, on the Tire Replacement Information chart.
