What Is Honda Heritage Works?
…
Honda Motor Co. is expanding its commitment to long-term vehicle support by introducing two key services under Honda Heritage Works:
…
1. Honda Heritage Parts
…
Heritage Parts will focus on reproducing and supplying certain discontinued genuine parts that aren’t currently mass-produced and might be hard to find, which is great for classic model owners. Honda will focus on making two types of heritage parts:
- Genuine Honda Heritage Compatible Parts
Newly redeveloped and reproduced components that will replace the original parts that are no longer for sale by Honda. These parts will use updated materials and manufacturing technology in collaboration with original suppliers. - Genuine Honda Heritage Reproduction Parts
These parts are reproduced using the same materials and production methods as the original factory parts, if you want to stay true to the original construction.
These parts will be sold globally through Honda’s standard genuine parts distribution channels, making it easier for owners worldwide to maintain their classic Honda vehicles.
The program will initially support the Honda NSX, with plans to expand to additional classic Honda and Acura sport models in the future.
