Tampering and Altering
Tampering is a violation of Federal
and Calif ornia law.
A manufacturer of an aftermarket
part assumes the responsibility that
the part will not adversely affect
emission performance. The
manufacturer or rebuilder of the part
must certify that use of the part will
not result in a failure of the engine to
comply with emission regulations.
The emission control systems on
your Honda engine were designed,
built, and certified to conform with
EPA and California emission
regulations. We recommend the use
of Honda Genuine parts whenever
you have maintenance done. These
original-design replacement parts are
manufactured to the same standards
as the original parts, so you can be
confident of their performance. The
use of replacement parts that are not
of the original design and quality
may impair the effectiveness of your
emission control system.
If you are aware of any of the
following symptoms, have your
engine inspected and repaired by
your servicing dealer.
Hard starting or stalling after
starting.
Rough idle.
Misfiring or backfiring under load.
Afterburning (backfiring).
Black exhaust smoke or high fuel
consumption.
Alterations that would cause the
engine to operate outside its design
parameters.
Removal or alteration of any part
of the intake, fuel, or exhaust
systems.
Tampering with or altering the
emission control system may increase
emissions beyond the legal limit.
