What is not covered under the Kia New Vehicle Limited Warranty?

I recently purchased a 2021 Kia K5 and read through the warranty information. There’s a lot covered under the New Vehicle Limited Warranty, but what’s not covered?

Great question! The Kia basic warranty is comprehensive and offers a lot of coverage for new vehicles, but it doesn’t cover everything. The following items are not covered under the Kia New Vehicle Limited Warranty:
  • Collision damage
  • Damage from “misuse”
  • Vehicle alterations or modifications
  • Damage due to a lack of regular maintenance or incorrect maintenance
  • Environmental damage
  • Wear and tear
  • Consumer damage (spills, burns, etc.)
  • Window/windshield scratches or breaks
  • Damage from installing tires that are the wrong size
Remember, Kia’s bumper-to-bumper warranty provides coverage for the repair and replacement of parts found to be defective as a result of poor workmanship or faulty materials—not driver-induced damage.
