Kia Warranty Coverage

Who really offers America’s best warranty? Hyundai may have claimed that title as a tagline, but Kia matches their coverage with a 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty, a 5-year/60,000-mile basic warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, and more! Find out exactly what’s covered by the Kia powertrain warranty and basic warranty, and how transferring the Kia warranty to a second owner works in this guide from Rountree Moore Kia.

Transferring the Kia Warranty to a Second Owner

Can you benefit from the Kia warranty if you’re buying a certified pre-owned Kia in Live Oak? Yes, you can transfer the Kia warranty second owner—it’s one of the many benefits of buying a used Kia! When a Kia vehicle is sold to a second owner, its 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty is switched to a 5-year/60,000-mile limited powertrain warranty. The remainder of this coverage is transferred to the second owner.

The remainder of the following Kia warranty coverage is also transferred to the new owner:

• 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty
• 5-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty
• 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan

Kia Powertrain Warranty & Basic Warranty: What’s Covered?

Every new Kia vehicle comes standard with comprehensive, long-lasting coverage to help you keep you and your family safe on Macclenny roads. Since 2008, the Kia warranty has included the following coverage:

• 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty
• 5-year/60,000-mile limited basic warranty
• 5-year/100,000-mile limited anti-perforation warranty
• 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance plan

The basic warranty (also referred to as a “limited” or “bumper-to-bumper” warranty) covers just about every service item and the repair/replacement of most parts and accessories, with the exception of normal wear and tear. These are items such as brake pads, tires, and windshield wiper blades.

The Kia powertrain warranty covers the cost to repair damage due to manufacturer defects in the vehicle’s essential systems, including the engine, transaxle, axle, transmission, differential, and propeller shafts.
