Kia Parts and Accessories installed at the time of a retail sale of a new motor vehicle are covered by the Kia New Vehicle Warranty applicable to your vehicle, depending on the vehicle’s use. In the case where a replacement part is installed under the Kia New Vehicle Warranty during the vehicle’s warranty period, the part is covered for the remainder of the Kia New Vehicle Warranty period only. Kia replacement parts and accessories that are not installed by an Authorized Kia Dealer are covered by Parts and Accessory Warranty for 1 year or 20,000km’s, whichever occurs first.

The Kia New Vehicle Warranty will be void if any part, component, assembly, equipment, accessory, or body panel is modified without prior approval from Kia, or if such work is not performed by an Authorized Kia Dealer as part of a warranty repair or accessory installation. It is recommended that you consult an Authorized Kia Dealer before making any modifications.

If a component covered by the Kia New Vehicle Warranty fails as a result of poor workmanship or materials, rendering the vehicle immobile or undriveable, the cost of towing to the nearest authorized Kia dealer is generally covered under warranty. It is recommended that you contact your nearest Authorized Kia Dealer or call Kia Customer Service on 000-0000-0000 for guidance regarding warranty coverage prior to arranging towing. For vehicles eligible for Kia Roadside Assist call 000-0000-0000 for assistance.

Kia does not manufacture LPG compatible engines for vehicles imported to OOO. Therefore, Kia advises that LPG should not be used in its range of petrol vehicles. The use of LPG in an engine not specifically designed for use with this type of fuel may lead to excessive wear, drivability concerns and engine management issues.

If a LPG system is fitted to a Kia engine/vehicle, the Kia New Vehicle Warranty does not apply to the LPG system nor to any conditions/defects that are attributable to the LPG system installation or to operation of the engine using LPG. Refer to the previous question - ‘Will my warranty be affected if I have the vehicle modified?’

The tire manufacturer covers the original tires fitted to the vehicle. Should you have any concerns regarding the tires on your vehicle, contact your Authorized Kia Service Dealer for assistance.

No. Parts and labor for repairs covered under the Kia New Vehicle Warranty are fully covered when the repairs are performed at an Authorized Kia Dealer.
