When they register for Owner Link, Honda and Acura owners receive a personal Web page for their vehicle that can be accessed through the Honda brand Web sites. New owners and those who take their cars to a Honda or Acura dealership to be serviced will receive a PIN number in the mail that will give them online access to their specific service records and e-mailed service reminders for that vehicle. Currently, the program includes automobiles, but in the future will expand to include Honda motorcycles, power equipment and marine product offerings.
