The Notes will not have an established trading market when issued. The Underwriters may from time to time make a market in one or more
tranches of Notes but are not obligated to do so and may cease at any time. Neither we nor the Underwriters can assure you that any trading market
for any tranche of Notes will develop, continue or be liquid.
The Notes sold by the Underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the applicable public offering prices set forth on the cover page of
this pricing supplement. Any Notes sold by the Underwriters to dealers may be sold at the applicable public offering prices less a concession not to
exceed 0.125% of the principal amount of the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes or 0.125% of the principal amount of the 2017 Floating Rate Notes, as
applicable. The Underwriters may allow, and dealers may reallow, a concession not to exceed 0.025% of the principal amount of the 2017 Fixed
Rate Notes or 0.025% of the principal amount of the 2017 Floating Rate Notes, as applicable. After the initial offering of the Notes to the public,
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, on behalf of the Underwriters, may change the public offering prices, concessions and reallowances with
respect to the 2017 Fixed Rate Notes and the 2017 Floating Rate Notes. The offering of the Notes by the Underwriters is subject to receipt and
acceptance and subject to the Underwriters' right to reject any order in whole or in part.

424B2
In connection with the offering, Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Mizuho Securities USA Inc., and RBS Securities
Inc., on behalf of the Underwriters, are permitted to engage in certain transactions that stabilize the prices of the Notes. These transactions may
consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the prices of the Notes. If the Underwriters create a short position in
a tranche of Notes in connection with this offering by selling more Notes of such tranche than they have purchased from us, then the Underwriters
may reduce that short position by purchasing Notes of such tranche in the open market. In general, purchases of Notes for the purpose of
stabilization or to reduce a short position could cause the prices of such Notes to be higher than in the absence of these purchases. The
Underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time. Neither we nor any of the Underwriters
make any representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the prices of
the Notes.
We may enter into hedging transactions in connection with the issuance of the Notes, including forwards, futures, options, interest rate or
exchange rate swaps and repurchase or reverse repurchase transactions with, or arranged by, any of the Underwriters or an affiliate of that
Underwriter. The applicable Underwriter and its affiliates may receive compensation, trading gain or other benefits in connection with these
hedging transactions and the hedging transactions described below.

PS-4
Table of Contents
The Underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include
securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment,
hedging, financing and brokerage activities. Certain of the Underwriters and their respective affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may
in the future perform, various financial advisory and investment banking services for AHFC and its subsidiaries, for which they received or will
receive customary fees and expenses. Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters are lenders and/or agents under our $7 billion revolving credit
facility, $500 million term loan due May 2016, $500 million term loan due December 2016, $500 million term loan due June 2017 and C$1.6
billion revolving credit facility of our subsidiary, Honda Canada Finance Inc., and may have other roles in connection with such facilities and
loans. Barclays Capital Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Mizuho Securities USA Inc., Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, RBS Securities Inc.,
and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. or their respective affiliates have served as initial purchasers and/or dealers under our U.S. Medium Term Note
Rule 144A Private Placement Program and/or our Euro Medium Term Note Programme and may do so again from time to time.
In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the Underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of
investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their
own account and for the accounts of their customers, and such investment and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of
AHFC or its subsidiaries. If any of the Underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with AHFC or its subsidiaries, certain of those
Underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those Underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to AHFC
or its subsidiaries consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these Underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such
exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in AHFC's or
its subsidiaries' securities, including potentially the Notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect
future trading prices of the Notes offered hereby. The Underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations
and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or instruments and may at any time hold, or recommend to
clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.
AHFC has agreed to indemnify the several Underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required to make in respect of these liabilities. AHFC has also agreed to reimburse the
Underwriters for certain expenses.

of September 5, 2013, as supplemented, between AHFC and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee (the "Indenture"), and delivered

accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors' rights generally (including, without limitation, fraudulent conveyance laws), and by general principles of equity including,
without limitation, concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing and the possible unavailability of specific performance or
injunctive relief, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity. This opinion is given as of the date hereof and is limited to
the present laws of the State of California and the State of New York. In addition, this opinion is subject to customary assumptions about the
trustee's authorization, execution and delivery of the Indenture and its authentication of the Notes and the enforceability of the Indenture with
respect to the trustee and other matters, all as stated in the letter of such counsel dated September 5, 2013 and filed as Exhibit 5.1 to AHFC's
