Introduction 3

BBB AUTO LINE's purpose is toresolve disputes between vehiclemanufacturers and their customers.BBB AUTO LINE's decision makersare impartial third parties who willlisten to both the customer and themanufacturer and decide what canbe done to resolve the disagreement.

The BBB AUTO LINE's decision isnot binding on you unless you agreeto accept it. If you accept thedecision, Honda will abide by it.Generally, disputes submitted toBBB AUTO LINE are resolvedwithin 40 days (47 days if you havenot first contacted Honda about yourcomplaint).

Honda offers you the opportunity tomediate and arbitrate a disagreementthrough BBB AUTO LINE becausewe want you to feel that you havebeen treated fairly. Eligibility is

limited by your vehicle's age,mileage, and other factors. In orderto file a claim, you need to provideyour name and address, the VehicleIdentification Number of yourvehicle, and a brief statementoutlining the disagreement. Initially,BBB may try to resolve thedisagreement through mediation. Ifthis is not successful, your complaintwill be reviewed by an impartial,volunteer arbitrator.

Please note thatlaws in some states may require thatyou file a claim with BBB AUTOLINE before you can proceed to astate-operated dispute resolutionprocess or the court system. If youdo not accept the decision of BBBAUTO LINE, you can still go tocourt.
