DENSO 280-5312 First Time Fit Remanufactured Starter Motor

The DENSO 280-5312 First Time Fit® Remanufactured Starter Motor delivers factory-original cranking performance backed by DENSO's decades of OE starter manufacturing expertise. Built on the same gear-reduction platform that DENSO pioneered for the original equipment market, this remanufactured unit is held to the same rigorous standards as a new DENSO starter — making it one of the most trusted replacements in the aftermarket.

Every 280-5312 starter goes through a comprehensive remanufacturing process designed to minimize comebacks and maximize reliability. Armatures and field coils are high-voltage tested to verify electrical integrity. Commutators are precision-refinished and performance-validated. All bearings, brushes, and seals are replaced with new components, and terminals and fasteners are upgraded to high-quality copper for a clean, low-resistance electrical connection.

Key Features:

• 1.4 kW gear-reduction motor for strong, consistent cranking torque
• High-voltage tested armatures and field coils for confirmed electrical reliability
• Premium copper terminals ensure a clean, low-resistance power path
• All-new bearings, brushes, and seals included — not reused OEM components
• Refinished and validated commutators for consistent brush contact and performance
• Bench-tested to factory specifications before leaving the facility
• Compact, lightweight gear-reduction design — class leader in size and weight
• Engineered to start reliably in both extreme cold and high-heat conditions

DENSO First Time Fit® Advantage:

DENSO's First Time Fit® program is engineered around one principle: the part installs correctly the first time, every time. Mounting points, electrical connectors, and overall geometry are validated to OE dimensions, reducing installation issues and eliminating the guesswork of aftermarket fitment. The result is one of the lowest return rates in the replacement starter category.

Remanufactured starters also represent an environmentally responsible choice — by reclaiming and recycling precision-machined components and raw materials, less waste enters the supply chain while consumers receive a high-quality part at a significant value over new.
